Behold – the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy! Dubbed Sagittarius A*, it’s the focus of a new image from data collected by @ehtelescope. A legion of other telescopes, including 3 @NASA X-ray observatories, did supporting observations. https://t.co/kqBjvazcFP https://t.co/iLfJKvIa07

Cities are often markedly warmer than the countryside, and that's critical in a heat wave. This image, taken by @NASA's ECOSTRESS instrument on the @Space_Station, shows "heat islands" in and near Delhi, India, with nighttime temps up to 102° F (40° hotter than nearby fields). https://t.co/yjzkdjDYev
