Full of passion, cutting-edge
technology, great mysteries, almost
endless possibilities, and even
magic, that's how astronomy
is; the oldest science*
You don't believe? Look
up there, at the
Mother's Nature wondrous canvas;
the dark, night sky;
plenitude of celestial bodies
At stars, galaxies or
maybe also planets capable
to harbour intelligent life,
mankind wants to discover,
resolving Fermi's paradox. Finally
If you feel sad,
overwhelmed by various problems,
stargazing is the best
and safe way to
leave pale blue dot
That's Sagan's name of
our space home. Not
enough? Join then Kepler's
team to find exoplanets**.
Nobody doubts they exist!
Astronomy! An amazing adventure
through space-time available for
cognitive minds. A quest
into unknown. Our precious
heritage, we shan't squander.
* as they say
** now
especially for GAM 2020
