A Holy Trinity
Here are three videos we filmed at The Vatican with “The Pope’s Astronomer” - Brother Guy Consolmagno.
First, a tour of four telescopes at the Papal residence and gardens at Castel Gandalfo, outside Rome.
Telescopes were once stationed on the walls of The Vatican itself, but they were moved out of Rome due to light pollution.
Second, a look at some space rocks and other treasures in the Vatican Observatory collection.
And finally, a longer sit down interview with Brother Guy. Talking about religion, space, and other stuff.
These videos were posted across three of my channels - Deep Sky Videos, Objectivity and Sixty Symbols.
If you are unfamiliar with any of them, please do have a look.
Here are more telescope tours on Deep Sky Videos. And here are more space-themed videos from Objectivity.
Pictured below is James Hennessy filming one of the telescopes during our trip.
Our thanks to Brother Guy for hosting us at The Vatican Observatory.
