The President of the Vatican Observatory Foundation has been presented with an award for astronomy at the 46th annual meeting of the Division for Planetary Sciences in Tucson, Arizona.

Jesuit Brother Guy Consolmagno was presented on Thursday with the Carl Sagan Medal by the American Astronomical Society.

Carl Sagan was an American astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist and science commentator in astronomy and other natural sciences.
Brother Consolmagno told Lydia O'Kane: "First of all to have recognition of your peers is really amazing … but in addition I had met Carl Sagan when I was a young man and seen his enthusiasm … that changed everything for all of us because he showed us that it's a good thing to show your enthusiasm."

"But this I know, UPC believed and still believes in

very high education. We can call Obote all bad names we have, but the bottom line remains that he got more scholarships for Buganda than all previous Uganda leaders combined. That includes Sir Edward Mutesa, President Lule, President Binayisa, up to and into Ssabasajja Mutebi. Who all happen to be Baganda leaders." Mulindwa
