No… I’m not talking about astrology. I’m talking about planets, stars Ect.

Also Does anyone else believe in black holes?
God bless! Thanks!

Why would one not “believe” in black holes. They are proven by science.
 
I would guess (and I hope I’m wrong) than the majority of people on this forum do not believe in them.
God bless!

:roll_eyes:

That’s one gigantic assumption on your part there…why don’t you stay around for more than a month or two before accusing a board with a quarter million Catholics that they don’t believe in scientific exploration.
 
Calm down it was just a guess, and it wasent educated by any means. Just a plain guess and no accusations. I’m very glad that I am wrong and sorry if I offended you or anyone else.
God bless!
 
Australia has just announced its new space agency. We have had a lot to do with NASA projects in the past. exciting times
 
Hi Dr.newsman,

I like Astronomy, and took an Astronomy class when I was studying at a University after high school.

I think that the concept of black holes has been around for a long time. 🙂

I like being able to look up at the stars at night, especially on a really clear night when you can see them quite well.
 
My son has a keen interest in space and astrophysics. I don’t fully share his passion, but I do find it all quite interesting as well.

Have you read the book “Brother Astronomer,” by Br. Guy Consolmagno, the Vatican Astronomer? It’s a good read, and it also debunks any notion that the Church is anti-science.

Gravitational waves were observed (and later published) for the first time in 2015 and 2017 from black hole events.
 
I don’t know that I am especially interested in astronomy but my father was an engineer who helped design the cooling systems for the Saturn V rockets used by the Apollo space missions so space travel has always been a big deal in my family.
You can’t have space travel without knowing a few things about space.

The Catholic Church has long been very involved in astronomy. The Vatican has its own observatory.
 
Ah cool. I have a telescope. (a very large one) We usually just look at the moon and planets.
Thanks!
God bless!
 
I don’t have a telescope, but I have always wanted to get one. 🙂

Hopefully I’ll be able to do that some day.

I bet it’s a lot of fun to use, and that you can really see the moon with it, too. 🌚

I’d love to be able to look at the planets, too, especially Jupiter. That would be pretty awesome, and Saturn, with it’s ring, too! 🙂

Yes, although my telescope is quite large, sarurn doesn’t appear very large, but you can still see rings!
God bless!
 
Thanks to your father for helping us get to the moon. My grandpa would weld for other rockets too. I am glad the vitican has an observatory and if I were to visit that would be one of the things I would look at!
God bless!
 
That’s really great!

At least you can still see Saturn, so I think that your telescope must be large enough. 🙂

God bless you, too! 🙂
 
No, I have not, but I am reading about Galileo. He still beloved in cathloisim even though he was being “prosecuted” by the church.
 
Thanks again! ( have to add more characters so I am typing this)
 
Hi!

Being old school sci-fi fanatic I do believe that there are things well beyond our comprehension that math and observation can shed light onto…

…so I’m jumping in with expectations!

Maran atha!

…not only that but when you look back at the science, the Church has always been there:
The theory, developed by the Belgian Catholic priest and astronomer Georges Lemaître, proposes that the Universe has expanded from a primordial dense initial condition at some time in the past (currently estimated to have been approximately 13.7 billion years ago), and continues to expand to this day.

According to Jonathan Wright in his book God’s Soldiers, by the eighteenth century the Jesuits had "contributed to the development of pendulum clocks, pantographs, barometers, reflecting telescopes and microscopes, to scientific fields as various as magnetism, optics and electricity. They observed, in some cases before anyone else, the colored bands on Jupiter’s surface, the Andromeda nebula and Saturn’s rings. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Catholic_churchmen-scientists)

So you are not alone, by any means!
