Phantasmal Realms Poem by Harley White

The poem is in the form of a rondeau… Some sources of inspiration were the following… Hubble Sees Galaxy in a Ghostly Haze (NASA) Image: Hubble captures lenticular galaxy NGC 6684 (Psysics Org.) … Explanation: The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of the lenticular galaxy NGC 6684, located approximately 44 million light-years away in the Pavo constellation. Lenticular galaxies have a lens-shaped appearance with no prominent spiral arms, putting them between elliptical and spiral galaxies in terms of structure. NGC 6684 stands out with its diffuse ghostly appearance, further accentuated by the absence of dark dust lanes found in other galaxies. Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, R. Tully
