NASA's Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) EPIC camera images the entire sunlit side of Earth every two hours. The satellite studies weather and climate on the Earth and the Sun.
The supermassive black hole is 40 million times as massive as the sun and powers a quasar that existed 700 million years after the Big Bang.
The asteroid zoomed by Earth at a perfectly safe distance of around 1.8 million miles (2.9 kilometers).
Images show surprise changes to the spacecraft as it interacted with the atmosphere.
