SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION: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. \nOur 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. \nThe events are held at the Greenbelt Community Center. We encourage visitors to attend in person\, although we will also broadcast the talk on Zoom. Come back a few days before the meeting to see how to join the Zoom meeting. We begin the meetings at 7:00 pm with informal conversation. The presentation begins at 7:30 pm. \nThe presentations are free and open to the public. \nPer our insurance requirements\, anyone under 18 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. \n
