Last year, I approached Cosmin Lungu and Anca Pol from the “Carturesti” bookshops, suggesting them to host two space events – Yuri’s Night and the World Space Week. Both YN and WSW were highly succesful; the public present at Yuri’s Night interracted with Andrei Juravle, Laszlo Farkas and other astronomers from the Antares, Altair and the Timisoara Astronomical Observatory, and with myself, on behalf of the Romanian Space Agency; also, in October, for the World Space Week, Alex Conu and Cristina Tinta joined us. This year, sadly, Cosmin Lungu is no longer with us, but Anca Pol has invited myself – as a ROSA researcher – and Andrei – as an Antares astronomer – to lead an astronomy and astronautics workshop during “Street Delivery. This series of events, taking place in the same time (June 11-13) in Timisoara and Bucharest, takes over two streets and fills them with joy. One such joy was that of bringing the sky closer to the public. Here are some images, with my tkanks to Anca, to the memory of Cosmin, to the young people who manufactured the planet models, to Andrei and to his coleagues from Antares:
