This 2021 video features Vatican Observatory Director Br. Guy Consolmagno and some outstanding footage of the Vatican Observatory at Castel Gandolfo. From EWTN:
Br. Guy Consolmagno has an incredible job. He is the Pope’s astronomer at the Vatican Observatory. Most people do not even know that the Vatican has an official astronomical observatory with telescopes in Italy and the USA. The Vatican and astronomy have a long history dating all the way back to 1582 and the Gregorian reform of the calendar. The observatory also has one of the major collections of meteorites in the world, with over 1100 pieces from the depths of space.
EWTN’s Colm Flynn visits the Vatican Observatory in Castel Gandolfo in Italy to meet Br. Guy Consolmagno and find out more about this hidden part of the Vatican.
