Today at 9 am, EDT (1300 GMT), the Pontiff himself, Pope Francis will call the International Space Station from the Vatican. While the event will already be broadcast live on NASA TV, you can also watch it from the safety of your own computer.
Pope Francis will talk to European Space Agency astronaut Paolo Nespoli, as well as other members of the Expedition 53 crew, as confirmed by the NASA TV schedule. Beyond that, according to Space.com, most of what will happen during the event is said to be under-wraps, so that is all the more reason to watch.
