A RULER, A TELESCOPE AND A STAR
.
In the 1390s,
Voivod Mircea the Elder and the Romanian army
defeated Sultan Bayezid and the Ottoman army
in the Battle of Rovine.
.
After about 630 years,
in front of a statue of the former Romanian ruler,
an astronomer was doing telescopic demonstrations,
and I didn't know if Mircea the Elder
was interested in these
or simply admired the star Vega.
