On a Spiral Path to the Milky Way
Show Notes

When she was a young girl growing up in southern Chile, Gabriela Navarro had many dreams… from being a volleyball player to being an astronaut. 

In this podcast, we'll follow the spiral path of now-Doctor Navarro that has brought her to studying the structure and formation of the Milky Way and its galactic bulge with the James Webb Space Telescope in Rome… via the 2018 Vatican Observatory Summer School (VOSS), and the 2019 SuperVOSS (which she helped organize!)

Guests:

Dr. Gabriela Navarro
Br. Guy Consolmagno SJ, Director of Vatican Observatory, President of the Vatican Observatory Foundation.
