Featuring Fr. Richard D’Souza, and the latest news of the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope! Just for our paying members: on the next Full Moon, December 29, a week from when we are posting this, we’ll be holding our regular on-line meetup where we get to know and chat with each other, and with astronomers from the Vatican Observatory. This month will feature Fr. Richard D’Souza SJ, the newest addition to the Specola Staff. He made the news a couple of years ago with a ground-breaking study of the satellite galaxies of the Andromeda Galaxy, but in fact he’s got lots of stories to share with us… and a history that has taken him from the Middle East, to Goa, to Germany, to exotic Ann Arbor, Michigan! What date? Tuesday, December 29: this is Full Moon in Tucson, which occurs during the evening, Tucson time. What time? As before, these meetups will happen around lunch time in North America: in particular, 10 am Tucson time, which is NOON pm Eastern Standard Time. [In order to read the rest of this post, you have to be a paid-up member of Sacred Space, and logged in as such!] Guy J Consolmagno is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. This meeting was created in a non-BAA environment and is not intended for the discussion of healthcare, health education, or health data research.
