Background
Christopher M. Graney is an Adjunct Scholar at the Vatican Observatory. For some years now his research focus has been the history of astronomy, especially the late 16th and early 17th centuries. That research has resulted in three scholarly books. Two of these were published by the University of Notre Dame Press: Setting Aside All Authority: Giovanni Battista Riccioli and the Science Against Copernicus in the Age of Galileo (2015), and Mathematical Disquisitions: The Booklet of Theses Immortalized by Galileo (2017). The third (with co-author Dennis Danielson) is A Universe of Earths: Our Planet and Other Worlds, from Copernicus to NASA (2026), published by Oxford University Press. Graney is also co-author with Br. Guy Consolmagno of When Science Goes Wrong: The Desire and Search for Truth (2023), a book for popular audiences published by Paulist Press.
