Hello out there, M85!
At 50 million light-years away, this galaxy contains about 400 billion stars! Most of these stars are very old, but the central region is home to a batch of comparatively younger stars – just a few billion years old: go.nasa.gov/3OSo0Fu

What’s that rumble?
Scientists at @nasajpl are testing a new technology that may detect tsunamis by the ripples of energy they send toward the atmosphere. The goal is to enhance early warning systems and help communities prepare.
