Br. Robert Macke with a moonrock from the Moon

Featuring Br. Bob Macke, and the latest news of the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope! Bob Macke has handled more extraterrestrial samples than anyone I know… including this piece of the Moon, brought back by the Apollo astronauts. Just for our paying members: on the next Full Moon, November 30, 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 Br. Bob Macke, dialing in from Castel Gandolfo. Bob is the curator of meteorites at the Vatican Observatory, and perhaps the greatest living expert in measuring meteorite physical properties. Beginning with his thesis work more than ten years ago he has traveled the world, measuring samples from every major public collection and a number of private collections; he’s probably handled more different meteorites than anyone else alive today. Included in his measurements are a number of Apollo lunar samples held at the Johnson Space Center. Because of his expertise, he has been selected to be one of the mission scientists on NASA’s upcoming LUCY mission to encounter Trojan asteroids. Oh, and he has his own asteroid, too. What date? Monday, November 30: this is Full Moon in Tucson, which occurs during the morning, Tucson time. What time? As before, these meetups will happen around lunch time in North America: in particular, 10 am Tucson time, which is 12 noon Eastern Standard Time.
