After work, head over to our social events that are held throughout the community and at our facility. All year long, the Fleet offers a wide variety of dynamic and engaging programs for adults who are curious and passionate about science. If you want to take a more social approach to your science discovery, join us at a Fleet Night of Science. Leave the kids at home and enjoy stimulating conversations about cutting-edge science, indulge in cocktails and let your curiosity run wild exploring our interactive exhibits. Science is in your everyday life; make it a part of your social life. Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar takes place at 25 different bars simultaneously across San Diego County. Quench your thirst for knowledge … and beer. After work, walk into a bar and meet local scientists and researchers from all types of fields. Ask questions about intriguing topics or inquire about literally anything; no topic is off-limits. Suds & Science is your monthly chance to connect with other curious scientific minds over a beer—or two—and take part in an in-depth discussion about important scientific topics. The Fleet partners with local bars and scientists to bring you an evening with a fun-yet-informative presentation, which kicks off an extended discussion between the scientist and the audience–all while the audience drinks along.

How did the Madagascar hissing cockroach get its name? Well, it hisses, of course. But how it hisses is a little weird. The giant insect forces gas through tiny breathing pores called spiracles on its thorax and abdomen. The cockroaches hiss when surprised, when challenging other cockroaches to a fight and when trying to attract mates.
Just when you thought science couldn't get any cooler! Indian scientists have found a new species of a dry-foliage mimicking araneid, or more commonly known as a spider. They named it Eriovixia gryffindori, because it looks so much like the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter. The scientists thought the Harry-Potter-inspired name would be a wonderful way to draw attention to an often neglected group of organisms—and J. K. Rowling couldn't agree more!

The moon is a familiar sight, brightening dark nights and reminding us of space exploration. But, what's so special about today's moon? When a full moon makes its closest pass to Earth in its orbit, it becomes a perigee-syzygy, commonly known as a supermoon. At perigee, the moon can be as much as 14% closer to Earth and appear much larger in diameter. Because it is larger, the full moon shines 30% more moonlight onto the Earth. This month, the moon is especially "super" for two reasons: it is the only supermoon this year to be completely full, and it is the closest moon to Earth since 1948. The moon won’t be this super again until 2034! Via NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
