For Global Astronomy Month 2020 (5) - Memory Astronomy

The current crisis makes one simple look to the sky become a minimal astronomical gesture and forces the sky lovers to make home astronomy (window and balcony astronomy, apartment astronomy, online astronomy, garden astronomy, courtyard astronomy or astronomy around the block during “short movements connected to the physical individual activity”).

In these conditions, one of my options has become memory astronomy (humanistic section), for which I ordered my pictures from before the crisis, I selected a few of them and I composed poems in the haiku form, for which my team colleague Florin made the adequate design.
