Speaker Series: A Vatican Astronomer’s View of Galileo

Both lectures will explore, “A Vatican Astronomer’s View of Galileo," and Br. Guy’s background as a Jesuit scientist. Examine how Galileo's work challenged, and was challenged by, the science of the day; and how it was shaped by the personal ambitions of the main players in the Church, the political world, and the philosophers of the day. The event will begin with a brunch at 10:00am followed by Br. Guy’s lecture at 12:00pm. The lecture will include a Q&A session, meet-and-greet, and a show in the Acheson Planetarium. The brunch is exclusive to Institute of Science members. Brunch tickets: $100 for adult members; $50 for children members ages 2 - 12; and children under age 2 are free.
