Informally known as "the Bird," this system of interacting galaxies contains two spiral galaxies and a third irregular galaxy. Located about 650 million light years from Earth, the Bird's wings span more than 100,000 light years — roughly the size of our Milky Way. #BirdDay 🐦
There is an incredibly rare event occurring right now- plasma is tracing along magnetic field lines on the sun, making them clearly visible with the right gear. This is an image I captured 10 minutes ago from my backyard. #astrophotography#space#opteam
Heartiest congratulations @KamalaHarris! Your success is pathbreaking, and a matter of immense pride not just for your chittis, but also for all Indian-Americans. I am confident that the vibrant India-US ties will get even stronger with your support and leadership.

Much gratitude to those #heroes around the world who are battling on the frontlines of the pandemic. Your selflessness will be forever appreciated. #thankyou
