Q & A with Vatican astronomer Guy Consolmagno

Guy Consolmagno is an astronomer and planetary scientist with degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Arizona. He is also a Jesuit Brother, dividing his time between the Vatican observatory in Arizona and Castel Gandolfo, Italy, where he is curator of the Vatican meteorite collection — one of the largest in the world.

Brother Consolmagno is steeped in scientific theory, but uses God to account for what can’t be accounted for through science, as a glue that holds together the equations of the universe.
