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 Friday June 21st at 12:00 Noon ET (10:00 AM Tucson time). 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 have the latest astronomy news and an update about the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope1.
Dr. Adam Hincks, S.J. is a Jesuit priest and an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto, in the department of Astronomy & Astrophysics and at St. Michael’s College, and he holds the Sutton Family Chair in Science, Christianity and Cultures. He is also an Adjunct Scholar of the Vatican Observatory.
His research area is observational cosmology, and he studies the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the oldest light in the Universe. His research group, which includes University of Toronto students and a
postdoctoral fellow, is contributing to the commissioning of the Simons Observatory in Chile which will provide pristine measurements of the CMB in the coming years. Working with international collaborators, they use CMB data to investigate how matter is distributed in the Universe and to study time-variable objects, like the active galactic nuclei (AGN) surrounding the supermassive black holes in distant galaxies.
Dr. Hincks’s also explores the relationship of cosmology, philosophy and theology in his teaching, his research and his public outreach. He is chair of the board of the Toronto Chapter of the Society of Catholic Scientists.
