Agreed with GJE, the photon mass is 1.04 ten power – thirty five kilograms for a velocity of 2.122 ten power eight metres per second at closest approach to the sun in light deflection by gravitation. It has been assumed that the angular frequency of visible light is of the order 2 ten power fifteen radians per second. The photon mass is much higher than in the standard model. This is the mass from the de Broglie Einstein equation. It tends to give support to the theory by GJE and Trevor Morris that the photon is similar to the electron. The de Broglie Einstein equation for energy can also be applied to the electron of course: the famous wave particle dualism.

Subj: Re: Velocity of the Photon at Closest Approach to the SunJust as the velocity of light reduces when light passes through a solid/ liquid / gas. It is only a constant c in a vacuum. Evidence for photon mass was always there. There are no massless quanta of energy.
