The Vatican’s chief astronomer will speak at a free event in Edinburgh next month.
Brother Guy Consolmagno will deliver a lecture entitled, “From Peru to Mars: New Worlds and Jesuit Science” on Monday 6 February, from 7pm-9pm at the James Watt Centre at Heriot-Watt University.
Brother Guy said: “We will explore what these Jesuit scientists did and why – up to modern research at the Vatican Observatory.
"Faith and science are often seen as polar opposites – but scientists in the church have played an important role in bringing the two together.”
Jesuits

GALLERY: Thanksgiving Mass - beatification of Rutilio Grande SJ
Jesuit priest Rutilio Grande SJ, two laymen and Franciscan missionary Father Cosme Spessotto have been beatified in San Salvador.
To mark the occasion, Archbishop Cushley joined Jesuit clergy at Sacred Heart in Lauriston, Edinburgh, for a Thanksgiving Mass on Saturday evening.
He said: "It's powerful and moving to see the Faith lived out in this way - people who are prepared to put themselves in harm's way for Christ and for the love of Christ's people."
Father Grande was gunned down by a paramilitary death squad along with Manuel Solórzano, an elderly catechist, and Nelson Rutilio Lemus (16), in 1977 while travelling from Aguilares to El Paisnal for a novena (writes Vatican News).
