What about the Foodskey channel? Care to make a statement that you abandoned it in favour of more profitable channels like this one?
You should post about these on the Numberphile channel.
the best! i have a copies of fr. guy's books, too! astronomer to the vatican, and turn left at orion.
now, i've saved the film, and forwarded it to others.
"It's not gonna get ya girls, didn't work for me!" This GUY! LOL
Now they use it to pick out attractive boys to use for their 'pleasure'
@@keithirvine1 that's low brow. I am not making any excuses. WAY too much wrong with religious power used for abuse! Not a victim myself, but not so far removed either. But, this piece by Brady is a feel good story, so keep the dialogue out of the gutter.
@@Dschickler He's not wrong tho...
I felt Guy's comment on a personal level lol
Open up your apertures boys.
5:38 - Look at the name of the last author of that paper! C.P. Stoll ... aka Cliff Stoll the Klein Bottle guy.
Cliff Stoll has a degree in astronomy (not kleinology 😉). It took watching him in several videos before I realized I'd seen him way back in 1990 on an episode of the PBS science show Nova, narrating the story of how he tracked down a hacker. To see a 40 year old Cliff (and an entertaining pgm) search CZcams for The KGB The Computer and Me. PBS might have it too.
He did a lot of amazing and intriguing stuff. In the 80s he tracked down some German hackers, see his book "The Cuckoo's Egg".
Yep, that's me. Br. Guy and I have been friends since 1975, when we were grad students at the Lunar & Planetary Labs in Tucson. Lotsa stories ... his advice resulted in my writing /The Cuckoo's Egg/ (sure hope I gave him credit there!). When he took his vows as a Jesuit, I had the honor of attending the ceremony; across the decades, we've collaborated on research projects in astronomy & planetary physics. We've spoken at meetings (ranging from physics colloquia to science-fiction conventions) -- fun! This video shows only a few sides of him; he's way fascinating and insightful.
root42 Cuckoo's egg is a must-read, especially now looking back from a modern internet perspective. And it's like a spy thriller
@@cliffstoll568 I did not expect to have a CZcams account. Don't you already get all the entertainment that you require from klein bottles?
Woah the distinction between telescopes that make small things big vs telescopes that make faint things bright was very illuminating to me, I never thought about them that way. Great video!
Come to astrophotograph you will regret geting iluminated and lose all your money.
Yeah, that insight got me, too!
The wooden domes are absolutely beautiful.
Brother Guy is an engaging presenter. Great video!
That wood. in the domes!
1890's XBOX looked astonishingly close to modern-day's PlayStation. Just Wow.
Yeah. It was bizarre to see a Sony PlayStation controller with buttons labeled for an Xbox.
Same
I was looking for this comment.
"The Pope's Scopes" would have been a way better title.
The telepopes
I thought it said the Pope's testicles for a moment
@@rawnukles oh yes. Searching the Pope's testicles with a telescope.
Cool. He published with Cliff Stoll, the Klein bottle guy. 5:39
This guy is a superstar. From Michigan to MIT to the Peace Corps to the Vatican. Pretty cool.
"This one makes small things big, this one makes faint things bright", a great description of the telescope types. And yes I'm paraphrasing a bit.
That was the shortest 20 minutes of my life.
I am eternally grateful to Brother Guy, as co-author of Turn Left at Orion, for teaching me how to find and observe some of my favourite things in the night sky.
This bloke is incredible. His knowledge and enthusiasm is heartwarming. Wish it was longer!
Brother Guy reminds me a lot of Cliff Stoll in this video with how excited he is learn and to share his excitement with the world. Like talking about every little piece along the way and how it is important and all leads us to a spectacular whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. And describing the PoV of someone involved in discovering this for the first time. He is a great guest
Fascinating video. I knew the Vatican had an observatory in Arizona, but knew very little about the one in Rome. The BBC Sky at Night visited a couple of years ago. When he said Roger Angel had made the mirror in Arizona, I thought I recognised the name. Of course he is the director of The Mirror Lab. Possibly the best telescope mirror factory in the world. He invented the idea of spinning the oven. Since this is big enough to make a mirror 8.4 metres (27.5 ft) across weight more than 10 tons, that is no small thing. They are currently making sets of mirrors for the Large Magellan Telescope, and the Synoptic Sky Survey Telescope. They made some videos about their work which are well worth a look.
Brother Guy is just a great name/title combo!
Met this fella in Oklahoma at an exhibit of Galileo’s original first editions. Interesting.
Jesuits are some of the coolest people I've ever had the pleasure to meet. if you ask them a question, be prepared to spend the rest of the day to have a fantastic conversation.
This was a great video. One question, has the map they've created with the slides been digitized and made available?
I just finished reading "A Canticle for Leibowitz", and this gave me flashbacks
FYI Guy is a SF fan as well, and shows up at conventions in the US once in a while (not so much since taking this job).
These videos were so good. This guy Guy could easily be hosting Cosmos and I'd watch every episode. ^_^
Brother Guy also wrote one of the best beginner guides to amateur astronomy ever written. "Turn left at Orion."
I loved those sky transitions
These are the kinds of details than I love on everything that Brady does
Wait, you have a Deep Sky Video Channel!? How did I miss this? When do you ever sleep?
Glad you’ve found it - you have catching up to do. Brady
@@DeepSkyVideos Oh, I'll be Binge-watching for a while! :D
Such a great video! Amazing! Thanks Brady and James, and thanks to Brother Guy
Another super video! This set of videos featuring Brother Guy is some of Brady's best work ever. Congratulations.
Dear deepskyvideos, your telescope tours playlist really help me on finishing my architecture bachelor degree. Thank you very much
What an awesome dude Brother Guy is! The information he presented was fascinating, his way of expression was engaging and the jokes made me laugh out loud with delight - fantastic video, thanks guys!
Fascinating considering my own narrow viewed question as to the value of the Catholic church.
Thanks for this one.
Guy Consolmagno, you are the one who led me to amateur astronomy world. I still use your excellent book Turn Left at Orion
He has humor. I saw a lecture he gave and he said he is the only one in the church above the pope, because his room at the observatory/summer palace was directly above the pope's room :-)
The pope scope!
Fantastic tour with a very passionate Guy. Genuinely interesting and enjoyable. Great to see the old tech still perfectly serviceable .
I'm an atheist with some pretty bad experiences with religion, but this man makes me feel a bit better about it.
This is all very interesting in its own right.
I'd just like to add that it's nice to see something on the Vatican's contribution to science. Hopefully this will help to dispel some of the myths about Catholic views on science.
More Vatican Observatory vids please!
Have you watched our other two (on two other channels)?

Wait a second who's filming Brady?
James
What an entertaining and informative video. Many thanks Brady and Brother Guy
"1890's X-Box Machine" this dood.😂
These videos are way cooler than I expected them to be. These vintage telescopes look so interesting. Dated but in a way that suggests that they were very much high tech back in the day. Makes me wonder how will our modern telescopes look in the future.
They were pretty impressive.
James Webb ✌️
I love the story at 12:03. What a wonderful man.
Thanks for the great video.
Brother Guy is a delight !
Thank You Brady
... And Camera Man .
What a view from the top of the castle
Awesome Video! I never would have thaught the Vatican owned its own telescopes. This is great!
@Revival Amen 😂
@Revival Amen what?
@Revival Amen what!!!i don't see a reason they create it . especially it was the catholic church who fought the crusades and it alone fought the opposition side war in which muslims and protestants allied.
10:00-10:23 Telescopes make faint things bright. Microscopes make small things big. This all makes sense!
Did anyone manage to get a picture of the giant prism? It’s absolutely amazing the contribution the Vatican have made to astronomy, I know a priest with a PhD in astrophysics who first made me aware of this.
There's a really good app or website that shows where the darkest places in the US are. I'm guessing where they chose in Arizona is in one of these very, very dark places.
i would love to do narrow band deep sky photography with these monsters!
lbochtler By monsters you mean the priests, right?
@@shadetreader i meant the huge vintage telescopes and their accompanying infrastructure
What an incredibly charismatic person. Thank you for this video!!
These observatory don't release pictures for public to see. Thats bad...
Is it just me or did the Vatican miss a huge opportunity by naming it "The Pope Scope?"
This is so cool to watch this guy is so pumped and make this very enjoyable
Br. Guy is so cool I spoke with him 16 years ago and he gave me great advice about becoming a religious brother and an astronomer
Old mechanical technology. UPDATE: Yes: I already knew about very important Catholic scientific contributions to science. If there is something available about Palermo Observatory where Giuseppe Piazzi was active, it would be interesting.
This was such a great episode. Thank you so much. I am completely inspired.
Thought he was gonna say 1880s Playstation. He butchered that so bad had me dying😂😂
Unbelievable how studied and meticulous and knowledgeable he is
Great video, thanks!
You’re welcome.
Brother Guy seems like a very cool guy.
This comment section might be a bit of a mess, but the video was delightful.
Fascinating!!! Thanks for sharing, we appreciate it!!
We appreciate you watching (and maybe sharing).
You dont need a telescope to see the Andromeda galaxy, just dark skies.
This is wonderful! I wish I had known about this place when I was in Rome. Brother Guy is awesome.
Very nice video. Good job, both of you.
That was so interesting! Awesome video!
So, when are we going to see Vatican's telescope instrument called LUCIFER?
That’s on the Large Binocular Telescope, not the Vatican telescope.
@@dansv1 Vatican owns all of them.
Best Observatory tour 😃😀
Another fascinating video in the "Pope" serie. Amazingly beautiful telescopes. The wood work is breathtaking.
Brother Guy. What a cool name.
1:25 omg omg does Brother Guy have the key to the castle does Brother Guy have the key to the castle?!?!
1:28 OF COURSE BROTHER GUY HAS THE KEY TO THE CASTLE
...also, was anyone else expecting a giant skeleton key? I'll bet @DeviantOllam could get in there with some gin and a smile
If I was visiting Rome and saw that dome open and start turning, I’d probably think the Vatican was communicating with aliens 👽
I love Brother Guy! He seems so friendly, approachable, and knowledgable!!! He does great interviews. I'd love to have coffee with him! 😀
Brother guy has a nice voice
4:27 That is a 40cm f/5 four lens refractor!!
Great video. Great thumbnail - reminded me of Fraa Orolo from Anathem.
Wonderfull vid !
Brilliant videos!
This "Guy" is an awesome presenter. Very engaging.
Thank you for the informative interesting video
I would love to spend my nights at the observatory!!!!!!!
Maybe Dr. Roger Angel could be recruited?
Philadelphia's Franklin Institute Science Museum has a Ziess reflector as old or a little older. It spends clear days watching the Sun but on scheduled Friday nights it's open to the public for stargazing. Back in the 1990's I was at the museum for a meeting of the Amateur Radio club there. A few of us stopped by the observatory and I noticed a ticking on my handheld radio. I was standing next to an acrylic box that housed the timer for the telescope, *_one nearly identical to the timer the Brother switched on._* I even remember the sound. Why? Because the Ham radio club's station was an exhibit adjacent to the observatory and that tick appeared as interference on every band from AM to UHF (around 1 to 500 MHz) doing it's best to drive the operators (including me) crazy. Was the interference fixed? After a fashion. A few months later the Amateur Radio exhibit, which had been around since the 1950's, was closed and the radio club was asked to find a new home. About 20/25 years later I read somewhere that they had finally updated the telescope's electronics.
Just a little bit of an elephant in the room here... With the actual first telescope associated with the Vatican being Galileo's
Excellent video.
How art thou fallen from heaven oh LUCIFER
Cool bruh!
Excellent video, excellent tour and excellent and fun tour guide! Thanks a lot!
Glad you joined us for it.
Great tour! Thanks!
Just learned that telescopes make things brighter not bigger. 🤯
This is amazing! Also I had no idea the Catholic Church has contributed so much to cosmology!
3:12 those eyes
Soo do they ever show us anything from all the dam telescopes?? Lol
I had forgotten that the Vaticanisti were Akum.
There is a CERN in Texas
Excellent, I wasn't even aware that thesesites existed. Thank You
"we tend to be over educated" lol
The sights of Antiquity !! nice! Brodie !
This is sooo cool. Thanks!
This was a great video. Thanks!!!
Amazing video 👍
Great video!
Is this the telescope they put Galileo under house arrest for... ?
