Cosmic Multicultural Bucharest in the Pandemic (442):
Earthly and Heavenly Tandems
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe (astro-photo-poem) and Florin Alexandru Stancu (design)
On December 29, 2022
I was on my first visit to my favorite nephew's new house in a quiet area in the east of the city.
It was a little after noon, but the Sun and the Moon already seemed like a tandem of light.
Inside I happily met the tandem of parents (Bebe and Ariana) and the tandem of their children (Alesia and Ianis).
Then the Moon became brighter, the Sun went down, and after dark I taught a practical lesson on the terrace of the house about stars and planets for the children of that street, who were not bothered to learn something new, even though they were on vacation.
Finally, I photographed other tandems:
Moon and Jupiter,
Mars and Aldebaran,
and from Orion
a large one (Betelgeuse and Bellatrix)
and a small one (Alnilam and Mintaka)…
while I was looking alone
at the greatest tandem,
Heaven and Earth.
