"Holy See hosting conference on formation and evolution of galaxies" - CNA

CNA reports:

The Vatican Astronomical Observatory is hosting an international conference on the formation and evolution of the galaxies, with more than 210 scientists participating from 26 countries, including Germany, France, Italy, the United States, Australia, Canada, Holland and Japan.

The conference, which began October 1 and ends October 5, will center on those galaxies in which the part that is in the form of a disc predominates. In addition there will be discussions about large conglomerates made up of stars, interstellar dust and gases.

Too cool. I just love it. How the reporters will be scratching their heads. I can see it now: "Church .... science?! Astronomy .... Church?!". Try fitting this story into your pre-conceived categories.
