I changed "the current Vatican Astronomer" to "an astronomer at the Vatican Observatory". I don't think there is an actual single position called "the Vatican Astronomer"; rather, the VO is staffed by about a dozen astronomers; if anybody should get a special title, it would be Brother Guy's boss, Brother George Coyne.

(This is not to say that I don't think Brother Guy is an intensely cool dude. He is that. He's just not "the current Vatican Astronomer".)

[edit] Creationism opinions

An anonymous editor added a quote, presumably from Brother Guy, about creationism. Can said editor please come back and provide a source for the quote? Thanks. ACW 18:59, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Science fiction fandom

Guy has been put into the category "science fiction fans", which is for active participants (past and present) in the culture of science fiction fandom. Does he actually belong in the category? Has he pubbed or even locced a fanzine, attended conventions, etc.? --Orange Mike | Talk 14:39, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

He was head of the MIT Science Fiction Society when he was a student there in the early 1970s. In recent years he has attended the Boskone convention in Boston and the 2004 Worldcon, also in Boston. He may have been at other conventions, but I know about the Boskones and 2004 Worldcon because I saw him there.--GrouchoRoss (talk) 05:23, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
