Guy does in his small lab at the Vatican Observatory. People often question the monetary cost of these efforts: why does the federal government spend billions looking for something as esoteric as gravitational waves? Why does the Vatican support an astronomical observatory? But these questions mask a deeper question: why do individuals choose to spend their lives in pursuit of pure knowledge? How are these choices made? The motivation behind our choices, both as individuals and as a society, affects the sorts of science that gets done; the kinds of answers that are found to be satisfying; and ultimately, the way in which we think of ourselves. About Brother Guy Consolmagno SJ, Astronomer and President of the Vatican Observatory Foundation A native of Detroit, Michigan, Brother Guy earned undergraduate and masters' degrees from MIT, and a Ph. D. in Planetary Science from the University of Arizona; he was a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard and MIT, served in the US Peace Corps (Kenya),
