Cosmic Concerts Poem by Harley White
Cosmic Concerts
There are concerts in the sky
playing cosmically on high—
be they grouping in formation
or harmonious creation,
fashioned synesthetically,
astro-energetically,
with conclusion or collusion,
stellar scenes in grand profusion,
gravitationally steady,
starry outbursts brilliant, heady,
like orchestral symphony
from the brass and tympani,
viols, woodwinds, (theoried strings) ,
to the charms a keyboard brings—
measureless concerti vast
merging present with the past
seamlessly, or so it seems,
as in firmaments of dreams…

Inspiration also came from the article, "Galactic Wreckage in Stephan's Quintet": "A clash among members of a famous galaxy quintet reveals an assortment of stars across a wide color range, from young, blue stars to aging, red stars."
Also article ~ "Stephan's Quintet- A Galaxy Collision in Action"…
About the image ~ Stephan's Quintet, a compact group of galaxies discovered about 130 years ago [in 2009] and located about 280 million light years from Earth, provides a rare opportunity to observe a galaxy group in the process of evolving from an X-ray faint system dominated by spiral galaxies to a more developed system dominated by elliptical galaxies and bright X-ray emission…
