Cosmic Multicultural Bucharest in the Pandemic (285):
Honoring Total Solar Eclipses (3)
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe (astro-photo-poem) and Florin Alexandru Stancu (design)
The total solar eclipse -
a beautiful bride
with more pretenders
I wrote this haiku inspired by Catalin Beldea's book launch event from the Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy.
Later that evening I saw the Moon, the second actor in a solar eclipse, and the brightest star in the Spring Triangle.
And I wished all the eclipse hunters,
in my way,
to get to observe
a total eclipse of Arcturus someday.
