More than half the Catholic clergy engaged in astronomy are Jesuits. St. Ignatius himself was a star gazer. Here in this video we describe two very prominent figures: Father Pietro Angelo Secchi and Brother Guy Consolmagno. Secchi was the first scientist to state authoritatively that the sun is a star. Bro. Guy Consolmagno, with a Ph. D in Planetary Science, is the present Director of Vatican Observatory.
