The Specula Vaticana - The Vatican Astronomical Observatory"

FREE Live Lecture April 8 2024 at 2.00pm Eastern Time U.S.A. with Francesca Barberini

It is not widely known that the Vatican has its own Astronomical Observatory: The Specula Vaticana.

In this web lecture, we will discover the long history of the relationship between the Church and science, especially in the study of astronomy. Together, we will revisit the various stages of the observatory's foundation, which have brought the observation of stars and the sky from the Vatican Hill to Mount Graham, Tucson, in Arizona.

The lecture lasts 45 minutes with 15 minutes of Q&A at the end!
