A COMICAL TO COSMIC DIALOGUE 

(Inspired by a real humorous dialogue with Adrian Bruno Sonka, coordinator of the Bucharest Municipal Observatory) 

.

.

Somewhere in the Universe, 

the famous galactic astronomer 

Sonkaus Adrianicus told me: 

-I know that on your planet 

the International Year of Astronomy 

was once organized, 

and now the Global Astronomy Month 

is organized annually. 

This is very good, 

it means that even the laziest sky lovers 

can achieve something during it. 

But, earthlings, 

why don't you also celebrate 

the Global Decade of Astronomy 

or the Global Century of Astronomy? 

.

-Because many sky lovers 

can change their preoccupations 

in a decade 

and most people can't capture 

the beginning and the end 

of a century alive! - 

I answered him. 

.

-I know that you, earthlings, also organize 

the International Astronomy Day 

twice a year - 

continued Sonkaus Adrianicus. 

But why don't you also celebrate 

the Global Astronomy Week 

or the Global Astronomy Hour… 

or even the Global Astronomy Second? 

 .

-Because we celebrate 

the World Space Week and the Earth Hour, 

and we can't all perfectly match 

our clocks for a second! - 

I answered him. 

That's why, dear Sonkaus Adrianicus, 

every edition of Global Astronomy Month 

is welcome, 

it helps us to better measure 

how much of us is earthly 

and how much of us is heavenly!
