Our galaxy contains millions of small black holes, and our universe is home to many supermassive black holes. But what about black holes "in between"?
Using Hubble, astronomers may have found evidence for an elusive intermediate-mass black hole: go.nasa.gov/3or3vVv

NASA's Hubble Hunts for Intermediate-Sized Black Hole Close to Home
Astronomers using Hubble have come up with what they say is some of their best evidence yet for the presence of a rare class of "intermediate-sized" black hole that may be lurking in the heart of the closest globular star cluster to Earth.Andrea Gianopoulos (NASA)
In Spain, a drought turns the world’s largest olive oil producing region brown.
NASA’s Terra satellite shows where green vegetation in May 2022 (left) turned brown by May 2023 (right). The drought dried up reservoirs, parched olive groves, and led to water restrictions.

Petermann Glacier, one of Greenland’s largest glaciers that ends at the ocean, is thinning, retreating, and its flow is accelerating.

Retreat at Petermann Glacier
Decades of retreat are visible from above, but harder-to-see changes below the waterline could also affect this iconic glacier’s future.go.nasa.gov
As the glacier stretches and thins, it becomes more prone to rifts that can break and form icebergs.
