Vatican Observatory

A nerdy love of science fiction, a yearning for adventure, a passion for science and a foundation of Jesuit education all helped in some way to lead a man from Detroit, Michigan, to become a master of meteorites and the head of the Vatican Observatory.

Despite all his years of studying the heavens, both as a scientist and a Jesuit, Br. Guy Consolmagno has never lost his sense of awe about the universe, nor of the God who created it.
