NASA is making its first ever appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show, the technology industry extravaganza in Las Vegas that kicks off Wednesday.

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.
