When I lost my love in the night
A comet trickled into the oceanic entity
And I hope that forgetfulness will not dig for it
An anonymous place in eternity.

THE STAR THAT I LOST AND RE-FOUND IN THE PLEIADES
By Mircea Pteancu
(president of the Galaxis Astroclub)
The identification code of the star is
Cl Melotte 22 1426
and without a spectral classification,
it appears with an orange color in the pictures
of DSS2 , Panstarrs/DR1 and Mellinger.
Even if this star (that I lost and re-found)
is not a red giant / carbon star,
it is interesting to study it
just because in the Pleiades
the White Stars Party is dominant.

PRAISE
By Tit Tihon (Romania,
residing in Canada)
Accept, Milky Way, a mild praise,
Perhaps too many and useless words,
Through the darkness from where I come
Only the longing for eternity overwhelms me.
I see myself far away on the horizon of life
In the mane of the comets that vaguely sigh
With tears prolonging through worlds
Forgotten by undemonstrated, guilty theories.
I am far away, lost on a living planet,
Straying shuddered among spiral galaxies,
Sooner or later I’d like
To be cloned by Fibonacci in a formula.
And I also want to pay praise
Watching full of admiration through the lunette:
I greet Jupiter’s satellites as friends,
Wonderful Universe, well-invented Galileo.

WHISPER
By Bucur Cezar Mihail
When the heart cries, the sky sheds tears,
The sad separation hides the suns
And oblivion breaks the rainbow…
But a simple whisper of love chases away the clouds
And liberates the celestial show!

LITERATURE IN NATURE
By Boris Marian (Mehr)
You are great, literature,
written by sick bipeds,
long phrases, frost and warmth,
you try to not believe them,
an ideal lost in words,
whipping wooden ears
and pride.
How many girls, my God, do know
they carry a star inside?

CONSTELLATION OF LOVE
By Bucur Cezar Mihail
Even on the first morning, the Creator made
A superb astral form, the “Constellation of Love”.
Subjecting the abyss from nonentity to annihilation
He thought that love will be the source giving life.
Then so many seconds, years, centuries and millennia passed,
Ephemeral feelings trickled into the world and died,
But the sacred Evening Star still shines like a light of love,
Unextinguished fire mirroring on the lakes…
You began to fly through the galaxy, my love,
And I feel alone in the black hole of the cruel separation,
Erased from the pink file of happiness,
But I meteoriticly confront the bitter jokes of destiny…
A poor apprentice in astronomy, I watch the sky by lunette,
It would be good to find that constellation,
But I see only desert stars, so I revolt because of my impotence
And put the lunette in the pocket - it is not able
To find at least the planet of our love
Buried by a rain of comets.
But I don’t despair,
I get a rocket-taxi
With the solar wind in my hair.

I watch the sky again,
It seems changed,
And I want to understand,
From slices,
Its beauty and light,
But it is too loaded with mysteries
That are concentrated in a line
Between a strange “something”
and humanity.

URSA MAJOR
By Eduard Dorin Ene
Transformed into a she-bear,
Kallisto met Arcas
And they travelled together
On the canopy of heaven.
They created memories,
Watching candidly the night
And watched by even the old star
Groombridge 1833.
They used a chariot of fire,
Dressed a circumpolar waistcoat
Against the cold,
Admired the game of the stars,
Praised Mizar and Alcor
(“Horse and Rider”)
And chose Ursa Major.
An amazing dance surrounded them,
With spontaneous embraces of
Irregular galaxies, fantastic spirals
And nebulae able to overthrow a myth
For which Zeus consulted vestals.

COMETS IN 2019
Selections from technical-humanistic fusion astroarticles
by Adrian Bruno Sonka
(coordinator of the Bucharest Municipal Observatory)
1. Comets - observed in 2019
The images are made through two telescopes:
one of 0.5 m in diameter (placed at the Berthelot Observatory)
and one of 0.4 m in diameter (placed in Bucharest).
Both telescopes belong to
the Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy.
2. Made in another solar system
(first published in Romanian in September 2019)
On August 30, 2019, the Ukrainian astronomer Borisov discovered an object.
It was not a stone in a river but an apparently banal comet,
so little light that he could barely see it through the 60cm telescope
at his disposal.
If the brightness of a comet is diminutive, it means that it is either far or small,
in that case the first variant is correct.
After more observations (because after the discovery of a comet,
observations are required for determination),
it was seen that its orbit is not “close.”
It does not… what?
Close! It is not close.
The orbit of the Earth has a shape similar to that of a circle,
while the orbits of the comets are ellipses.
So if you are a comet and your orbit is an ellipse,
it means that there is a place where you are closer to the Sun (perihelion)
and one where you are further away (aphelion).
In this case, the aphelion is absent.
So the orbit does not close, which means that it is only a trajectory
which bends beside the Sun as if the object in motion through the Universe
is forced to pass next to our star.
That’s why it is named “inter-stellar comet”.
Comparison between the orbits of Comet Halley and C/2019 Q4 Borisov.
One is close, the other is not.
Guess which one bends and which one does not.
The extension behind the trajectory goes far away,
to inter-stellar space where
the constellations Cassiopeia and Andromeda are visible,
while the other end stretches to the southern hemisphere,
toward the constellation Telescopium.
(…)
The comet becomes brighter,
but it is visible only through large telescopes,
passing close to the Sun at a distance of 300 million kilometers.
If that is “close” - it means that the Earth is included in the Sun.

Initially we arranged the instruments

and began the observations.
After the Sun hid behind a fence
we jumped to it
and continued observing.
The weather was excellent,
but after 16:30
the Sun set behind the mountains…
and we stopped observing.
