A MAJESTIC VISIT
Astro-photo-poem by Valentin Grigore

Queen Venus visiting her subjects
from the clusters of stars!

After on April 3, 2020,
as the queen in the evening sky,
she visited the Pleiades,
on September 13, 2020,
as the queen in the morning sky,
she passed M44,
also called Praesepe,
the cluster from the constellation Cancer,
which was described by Claudius Ptolemy
and studied through his telescope by Galileo Galilei.

Two stars (ignored yesterday, respected today)
watched this majestic visit:
Asellum Borealis (Gamma Cancri)
and Asellum Australis (Delta Cancri),
fierce guardians of the glorious cluster.
