COSMOPOETRY DIARY IN THE PANDEMIC -
BOOK I:
HEAVENLY TIME OF HOPE

By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe, Valentin Grigore
and Florin Alexandru Stancu (web design)




After “For Global Astronomy Month 2020”,
a mega-series of 454 episodes (plus an uncounted episode)
of astro-photo-poetry (cosmopoetry)
which was published in the Astropoetry Blog (now archived)
of Astronomers Without Borders (AWB),
the Romanian Society for Meteors and Astronomy (SARM)
worked a continuation, “Cosmopoetry Diary in the Pandemic”,
based also on the system of episodes, but published
in another technical arrangement in Cosmopoetry - SARM and Friends.

This new mega-series includes 4 projects (electronic books)
as a way advancing in 3 steps to honor the next edition of Global Astronomy Month,
organized by AWB in April 2021.

We have to remember that in Romania
the main anti-pandemic measures taken by the authorities were:
-March 25 - May 14, 2020, a national quarantine (the first pandemic wave).
-May 15 - October 19, 2020, the obligation to wear masks indoors.
-October 20 - November 8, 2020, the obligation to wear masks in open spaces, too.
-November 9, 2020 - May 12, 2021, nocturnal quarantine
(23:00 - 5:00, the second and third waves of the pandemic).

“Heavenly Time of Hope” symbolically begins with a picture
(“Sunrise above Bucharest”)
taken by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe on August 2, 2021,
includes 70 episodes unpublished in 2020 and imparted in 4 chapters,
mainly covering the time from September to December of that year,
when the realization of an anti-pandemic vaccine became imminent.

CHAPTER I (episodes 1-20)
CHAPTER II (episodes 21-35)
CHAPTER III (episodes (36-50)
