The Astronomer of Bessarabia in Bucharest
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
.
On July 10 and 11, 2025,
I was the host and guide in Bucharest
for the astronomer of Bessarabia,
Vitalie Chistol,
a doctor professor at the technical university
of a small state
(the Republic of Moldova,
historically separated from
the motherland Romania),
who operates the planetarium
and observatory in Chisinau
and prepares high school students
for the international astronomy
and astrophysics olympiads.
.
Together we felt like in a brotherhood
where we had abandoned
childhood games
and moved on to dancing
with the stars.
