An astronomical phenomenon called gravitational lensing can warp, magnify or even duplicate the appearance of distant galaxies.
🔎 In this image, @NASAHubble uses this phenomenon as a natural magnifying glass to view a distant galaxy. Check it out: https://t.co/yRqycUioCK
Two NASA instruments – one aboard the @Space_Station and the other on our @NASAEarth Aqua satellite – mapped the historic high temperatures from the heat dome over the southwestern U.S.: https://t.co/QCb4nIDIw2
Parallel lives:
Chinese authorities freeze th bank accounts of (the opposition voice) Apple Daily News to force its closure;
UK Government looking to sell @Channel4 .. @EndersAnalysis describe it as ‘spiteful’.. as revenge for being critical of the Govt

This is the next domino to fall in #China’s quest to rid democracy from the world.
If you think the #CCP cares about anything but their own power, you are sorely mistaken. #HongKong

The forced closure of pro-democracy newspaper @AppleDaily_HK illustrates the lengths the Chinese Communist Party will go to silence dissent, curtail freedom, and maintain their grip over the freedom-loving people of Hong Kong. https://t.co/P1KQX15ZoX
On today’s #GlobalDayofAction we again demand to #MoveTheGames to have #NoBeijing2022. Not just for the Uyghurs suffering in Xinjiang but also for the people of Hong Kong, Tibet and Mongolia. We cannot allow #Beijing2022 to take place these while human rights abuses continue❗
The #CCP has succeeded in shutting down free speech in #HongKong--@AppleDaily, a pro-democracy paper, is forced to shut down after the Beijing-controlled HK government arrested its owner & multiple journalists, and froze its assets. #China's government is ending #freespeech.
#AppleDaily was a shining symbol of liberty. With its forced closure, #HongKong has descended into the dark ages. Not even a scrap of freedom remains.
A CCP-controlled city with no rule of law or protections for basic rights can’t be an international financial hub.
Opinion: It is a small jump from closing pro-democracy tabloid Apple Daily, to assaults on bigger or foreign businesses in Hong Kong https://t.co/qWPr5IrzoM
LOOK: Employees of Apple Daily, Hong Kong’s largest pro-democracy newspaper, thanked the city’s people for their support by waving lit-up phones from the balcony at the paper’s headquarters after its closure was announced
Time that a broad swathe of the democratic world introduced economic & financial sanctions against China & consumers worldwide boycotted all products from this undemocratic repressive regime @XHNews#OneNationTwoSystems
41 countries, including #France, have urged #China to allow “unfettered access” for independent observers to visit the #Xinjiang region amid human #rights concerns. Meanwhile, Beijing has arrested staff at #HongKong's last pro-democracy newspaper.

We are not out of the woods yet. The #CCP needs to be held accountable for the role they played in this pandemic to ensure we never go down this path again.
3.8 million people have died worldwide as a result of COVID-19, yet radical Democrats still refuse to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable.
@HouseGOP has a plan. 👇
