THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS

Check back to the calendar later, as Dr. Jonathan Mawdsley will be doing their presentation in a different month.

Dr. Jonathan Mawdsley will be speaking on “The Galileo Affair”, an exploration of the differing worldviews engaged in the historic conflict between Galileo and the Catholic Church, with a particular focus on Robert Bellarmine, Cardinal, Saint and doctor of the Church.

Our monthly meetings are usually held on the last Thursday of each month. Our speakers are drawn from all around the country, including experts from NASA, the Smithsonian, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, and other scientific institutions. Our members also give presentations about subjects of interest to amateur astronomers.

The events are held at the Greenbelt Community Center. We encourage visitors to attend in person, although we will also broadcast the talk on Zoom. The zoom session opens at 7:00 PM for set-up and technical glitches. The link is below.

The presentations are free and open to the public.

Per our insurance requirements, anyone under 18 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
