SUMMARY:“Padre Kino\, Scientist” free Third Thursday Food for Thought Zoom presentation by Vatican Observatory astronomer Christopher J. Corbally\, S.J.\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:There is a statue of the Jesuit missionary and explorer Padre Kino in Tucson. He is on horseback. The head of his horse is drooping. It has been a long and hot day of travel in the Sonoran desert. But Kino sits upright\, and he has a “blue shell” clutched to his chest by his right hand. He clearly has had a brilliant idea. That idea connects his early expedition to Baja California\, to where he has just met the O’Odham\, in Tucson. That idea needed his travels and his science. \nFather Chris invites\, “Let us\, via his grasp of science\, connect the dots and understand his great insight. His science covered many disciplines. Kino was a mathematician\, an astronomer\, an instrument maker\, a map maker\, an agriculturalist\, and a cattleman. So it is going to be a wide-ranging story. As a Jesuit and an astronomer\, I find the story a fascinating one. Please join me for the telling of it on Thursday\, November 19.” \nChristopher Corbally is a Jesuit priest and an astronomer with the Vatican Observatory Research Group and an Adjunct Associate Astronomer at the University of Arizona Department of Astronomy. He ministers to a wide variety of Catholics\, including Native Americans\, in Tucson\, Arizona.
