Thanks to all for letting me know you wanted to learn more about the atmosphere detection around GJ 1132b and I also wanted to delve a bit more into the amazing observations going on this week around the world by the Earth-sized Event Horizon Telescope as it attempts to image Sgr A*. But what will it see? Also, the Hubble Space Telescope images Jupiter in celebration of the opposition of Jupiter.
