The Vatican Observatory announced this week the naming of four newly discovered asteroids after notable Catholics, including Pope Gregory XIII, who began the tradition of papal astronomers and observatories.
Started in 1986, the program has historically given students the opportunity to dive into astronomy while also experiencing Italian culture.
The discovery of astronomers Father Gabriele Gionti and Father Matteo Galaverni ‘could spark a revolution in our understanding of the early universe.’
Vatican Observatory researchers make strides toward an answer.
The first Christmas in space saw three men circle the moon and broadcast a Christian message to an enraptured audience of hundreds of millions.
With roots dating back to 1582, the Vatican Observatory is one of the oldest active astronomical observatories in the world.
The Holy Father reaffirmed Church teaching in address.
