Cosmic Multicultural Bucharest in the Pandemic (303):
AIRA’s Asteroid Day 2022 (3)
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe (astro-photo-poetic chronicle) and Florin Alexandru Stancu (design)
In the corridor of the Astronomical Institute, dominated by a portrait of its founder from 1912, Nicolae Coculescu, I was happy to capture three symbol astronomers of Romania in a picture: Valentin Grigore (president of the Romanian Society for Meteors and Astronomy-SARM), Adrian Sonka (coordinator of the Bucharest Municipal Observatory) and Mirel Birlan (current director of the Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy).
It was also a pleasure for me to meet at the event other important Romanian (professional and amateur) astronomers: Catalin Beldea, Andra Stoica, Ruxandra Popa, Cosmin Sorin Miclos, Alin Nedelcu…
And moreover,
everyone's friend named Vasile,
a small space rover!
