Whirlpool Wonders Poem by Harley White
Whirlpool Wonders
The Whirlpool Galaxy of grand-design,
a stately spiral with companion small,
once held to be in gravity's confine
of greater galaxy's imposing sprawl,
is shown in sharpest image ever caught
to have essentially been gliding past
for myriads of years, beyond our thought,
behind the Whirlpool's classic swirling cast.
A cosmic canvas visioned by Van Gogh
limns canopy above from earth below
as though he could intuit fluid flow
of astral turbulence the skies bestow
in Vincent's Starry Night's celestial dream
with Whirlpool soaring o'er in stellar stream.
Astronomy is one of the first branches of science which man ever developed. By sky-watching and star-gazing. The science has miles to go still. And it is expanding, as does each of the galaxies and the universe itself.
