An absolute triumph of Science! This is the first image of the “gentle giant” supermassive black hole at the center of our home galaxy. Up until now we inferred it’s existence by looking at nearby objects but now we are looking at the silhouette of Sagittarius A*! #SgrA
We finally have the first look at our Milky Way black hole, Sagittarius A*. It’s the dawn of a new era of black hole physics. Credit: EHT Collaboration. #OurBlackHole #SgrABlackHole Link: https://t.co/Ax7ECRVg8A

Observing a lunar eclipse is safe and fun! No protective equipment is needed. You don’t even really need a telescope to enjoy but binoculars or a small telescope can make it even better. Look for the moon in the western sky. #LunarEclipse2021

Get ready for tomorrow morning’s #lunareclipse! From the eastern time zone you can observe the Moon entering the deepest part of the Earth’s shadow at about 2:18am, reach its maximum coverage at 4:02am, and then fully emerge by 5:47am! See https://t.co/BomSIU41qp for local times.

A NASA spacecraft named Lucy rocketed into the sky with diamonds Saturday morning on a 12-year quest to explore eight asteroids.
The #LucyMission spacecraft has successfully deployed its solar panels, and now its epic journey to Jupiter's Trojan asteroids is officially underway. Fair winds and following seas, Lucy. https://t.co/zGhaDFUFK6

A fantastic achievement! The first step in what will one day be common, powered flight in the atmosphere of another world. Look for much more after this test in the coming few weeks. #MarsHelicopter
Today I witnessed history. Now you can too. You’re watching video of the #MarsHelicopter’s first flight – a true “Wright brothers” moment. Watch it all unfold: ✅ Spin-up ✅ Takeoff ✅ Hover ✅ Turn ✅ Landing Read more: https://t.co/FIsf5RfHGj
