John Lundberg: Physicist Decodes a Walt Whitman Poem

Nor the comet that came unannounced out of the north, flaring in heaven; 
Nor the strange huge meteor procession, dazzling and clear, shooting over our heads, 
(A moment, a moment long, it sail’d its balls of unearthly light over our heads, 
Then departed, dropt in the night, and was gone;)
