Brother Guy Consolmagno’s research explores the connections between meteorites and asteroids, and the origin and evolution of small bodies in the solar system. In 1996, he spent six weeks collecting meteorites with an NSF-sponsored team on the blue ice of Antarctica, and in 2000 he was honored by the IAU for his contributions to the study of meteorites and asteroids with the naming of asteroid 4597 Consolmagno.
He has coauthored two astronomy books: Turn Left at Orion and Worlds Apart. He is the author or co-author of four books exploring faith and science issues, including The Way to the Dwelling of Light, Brother Astronomer, God's Mechanics, and Would You Baptize an Extraterrestrial?
In 2018, Br. Consolmagno received an honorary degree from Fairfield University for his contributions in science.
