Barlad Expedition 2022 (17)
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe (astro-photo-poem) and Florin Alexandru Stancu (design) 

First, Ciprian Vintdevara gave a short introductory speech about the educational virtues of art and science specific to a planetarium. 

Then he made an elegant presentation of a superb French planetarium show. 

I composed the following astropoem for that image:

IC 1396

I saw in a planetarium
such an expressive photo
of the Elephant’s Trunk Nebula
that I became part of it
and floated through its ionized gas
and among its young stars
until I felt the Elephant's ivory tusks
caressing me.
