SFC NASA/NSS space settlement design team
Our, St. Flannan’s College NASA/NSS space settlement design team visited the Vatican Observatory, “Specola Vaticana”, Castel Gandolfo, on December 7th. The trip was initiated after a Zoom meeting, focused on asteroid composition, with Br. Guy Consolmagno SJ, physicist and director of the Vatican Observatory, The team engaged in stargazing and was joined by two teachers and four students from St. Dominic’s College in Cabra, who had previously collaborated with them.
The visit also included an early morning tour of the Vatican Museum and receiving a papal blessing in St. Peter’s Square. We would especially like to thank the Vatican Observatory for making this space related educational trip an out of this world experience!
