New data from @NASAWebb shows that supermassive black holes can grow to their current size without a much larger host galaxy to feed them.
This helps to explain why some black holes in the early universe got so big so quickly. https://t.co/9l3SjnKHqZ

Up next for @BlueOrigin: Leo New Glenn 1 (LN-01).
LN-01 is the first of 24 Leo launches on Blue Origin’s new reusable, heavy-lift rocket, and will be our largest payload yet with 48 Leo satellites on board.
Our four-tier stack is fully encapsulated in New Glenn’s 7-meter fairing and ready for transport to Blue Origin integration facilities at LC-36. More soon.
Today, and every day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
Ad astra per aspera.
