    Eight satellite dishes pointed at the evening sky, where stars are visible. They are located in a desert-like landscape with hills.

    This morning, our and collaborators around the globe offer us a clearer glimpse of our universe. To capture this image of the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, eight telescopes in many locations had to work together to create an Earth-sized telescope.

    On a black background, a donut-shaped orange blob appears to glow in colors ranging from white to orange to dark red. It’s not perfectly circular all around, with three main blobs visible.
    This is the first-ever image of the black hole at the heart of our galaxy. At 27,000 light-years away, Sagittarius A* would look from Earth to be the size of a donut on the Moon. A global network of telescopes and 300 researchers, many from , captured this image.

    What matters is how we respond to challenges. Adversity, like education, can instill empathy and inspire action. I urge you to use what you've learned to help make America a better place, one that embodies its loftiest principles and lives up to its most cherished ideals.

    As you enter post-college life, you will find that your lives will require a nimbleness that would have been unimaginable for your grandparents. You graduate at a time when the nation is scarred by racial and social injustice, images of war, climate crisis, and pandemic.

    Hughes channels the tired yet strong voice of a mother speaking to her child. She describes her life as a hard climb up torn, splintered stairs. She instructs her son to continue the climb: "So boy, don’t you turn back. Don’t you set down on the steps."

    In William H. Johnson's "Young Mother," a gently cradled baby rests. But the mother’s eyes are wide—with worry, exhaustion, or hopes that her child's future will be brighter than her own. From the collection of , it reminds me of "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes.
