Visitor from Rome, part 2

As expected, Brother Guy's lecture last night was awesome.

He talked about ideas in astronomy that were almost right, but ultimately ended up being totally wrong. He covered Ptolemy, Copernicus, my favourite astronomer Tycho Brahe and even his own master thesis from 1975 which was a study of Jupiter's moon Europa.

He's a really interesting and entertaining speaker and I think the students got a lot out of it.
