Asteroid (679211) Gheorghe = 2018 VL61 

.

.

I thank 

SARM President 

Valentin Grigore 

(for the preliminary proposal), 

EURONEAR Project Leader 

Ovidiu Văduvescu 

(for accepting the proposal 

and making the line of argument), 

EURONEAR member 

Lucian Hudin 

(for the discovery of the asteroid on 2014-09-02 

at the Isaac Newton Telescope in La Palma) 

the International Astronomical Union 

and the Minor Planet Center 

(for approving my name for this asteroid). 

.

Located in the main asteroid belt 

between Mars and Jupiter, 

it is small, determined and special, 

walking in the sky the term “astropoet” 

 (from the argumentation). 

.

Right now I am a bit busy 

with terrestrial matters, 

but one day I will make time 

to see it through a telescope. 

.

Until then, 

I am grateful to you, 

asteroid Gheorghe, 

for existing somewhere far away 

as a new, unexpected and celestial friend 

of astropoetry!
