Join us on October 6th for our next Full Moon-th On-line Meetup!

Our guest will be Cliff Stoll, astronomer, teacher and author of the book The Cuckoo’s Egg. Cliff is also also a buddy of Br. Guy!

Our tradition of hosting online meetups with our Sacred Space Astronomy members and the Vatican Observatory staff, scholars and friends during the Full Moon in Tucson (or thereabout) continues on Monday October 6, 2025 at 12:00 Noon ET,  9:00 AM Tucson time (with daylight savings time). or 16:00 UTC.

This meetup is a perk for our Sacred Space Astronomy subscribers- you get to chat with each other, and astronomers and scientists from the Vatican Observatory!

We’ll also discuss the latest astronomy news and an update about the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope.

Cliff Stoll is an astronomer, author, and teacher known for tracking down a group of German hackers working for the Soviet KGB in 1986.

As a systems administrator at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, while working on the development of the Keck Telescope, Stoll pursued a 75-cent accounting hiccup, ultimately uncovering a major security breach. His book, The Cuckoo’s Egg, details this investigation and became a bestseller.

The 1990 PBS NOVA video: The KGB, The Computer and Me – The Cuckoo’s Egg Story is available on a couple channels on YouTube – it’s hilarious!

Stoll’s work significantly contributed to early cybersecurity awareness.

Stoll is also known for creating and selling glass Klein bottles.
