Astronomy on Tap (AoT) Montreal

AoT Montreal are held monthly by professional astronomers and in collaboration with several institutes (CRAQ, iREx and the Trottier Space Institute). Each event includes two short presentations by local researchers, trivia games with prizes for the winners, and offers a great opportunity to ask all your deep space questions, from black holes to aliens, to our large crew of passionate astronomers!
