First Light Machine

Measured, gross emissions
Combined,
By brute force

Detracts, from a vision
Of a redesigned,
Streamlined source.

SOFIA >>

 

Elongated, motions
Of irradiating, waves
Rebalances, our notions
Of how structuring –
Behaves.

R 136 >>

 

Spectral, range orbits
Extracted, from time
Are phased, exposed spectra
Of its solid, blue line.

Radial velocity detection of an extrasolar planet >>

 

Splashing, its sharp vision
Through the realms,
Of time aligned

Delivers, on its promise
To overwhelm –
Our bold minds.

Lagoon >>

 

Wing like windows
Carved from
Wolf-Rayet scars –

Blows its
Norse, wind, vision
Into its
Blue, hued, stars.

NGC 2359 >>

 

Running on towards
Its outside –
Its inside, reflects delay

As it links
Its prescient present –
Within a vision, on full display.

IC 2944 >>

Obscured, scattered visions
From the edge,
To its out

Assures, bold collisions
From the inside,
Of doubt.

Ejections, of motion
As inflections, of might
Disconnects –
Their intersections
As a reflection –
Of light.
