Vatican Observatory Summer School Welcomes Students Back After the Pandemic | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Following a several years-long break because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Vatican Observatory Summer School is welcoming students back this week. 24 college and graduate school-level students were selected. They hail from 20 countries around the world. The school meets for one month every 2 years. The last session was canceled because of the pandemic. The program began in 1986. Tuition is free, and travel and housing also are helped funded by donations from the Vatican Observatory Foundation. Astronomer and Historian with the Vatican Observatory, Chris Graney, joins to tell us more about the summer school and how it will look post-pandemic. Graney shares where the students come from and how they are selected. On another note, it is the start of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. The Vatican Observatory has just released some research about this topic. Graney fills us in on this. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
