Astronomy on Tap is a series of short, accessible talks about astronomy, over beer. Astronomy on Tap's Triangle chapter will be moving its events to Fullsteam ATC, 320 Blackwell Street, #101, Durham, North Carolina. They made this announcement on Facebook. The events will take place the first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m., and are free to attend. All ages are welcome. November 3, 2026 The featured speaker on November 3, 2026 is Dr. Caitlin Witt of Wake Forest University. What happens when supermassive black holes spiral toward one another? And what happens when countless pairs create a cosmic chorus? This talk will explore how supermassive black hole binaries produce gravitational waves, and how the signals from countless binaries overlap to create a background hum across the universe. Astronomers have found evidence of this gravitational-wave background using an observatory that spans our galaxy, opening an exciting new window into the cosmos! But there’s still more to discover. Fainter gravitational-wave signals are waiting to be uncovered, offering even more opportunities to explore the universe’s most extreme objects and events. Tune in to learn about gravitational-waves symphonies, monstrous black holes, colliding galaxies, dead stars, and more! Facebook post.
