Old Photons

Old Photons is the title of a poem I wrote to commemorate my return visit in 2012 to the irregular but well-loved Friday-after-work wine tasting gatherings at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics after twenty-five years of absence. It serves as the inspiration for this blog and its mission – to gather news of astronomy and physics into one place for my own and for your education and enlightenment…

Here is that poem. I dedicate it to Dr. David W. Latham, the oenophile astronomer, gracious host of many wine-tastings and to all who search the skies to help us understand our marvelous universe.
