By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe posted 8 hours ago
APRIL 6, 2026 (last episode of this series dedicated to Global Astronomy Month 2026) Astro-photo-poem by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe . The last two goals for this series were to photograph the star Arcturus, the chief of the Spring Triangle (after midnight), and the star Vega, the chief of the Summer Triangle (towards morning). So that I don't get bored waiting between them, I also photographed the Moon. Only after that I felt free to enjoy Global Astronomy Month 2026 and the world of the Sun! . #poetry #poetry
