An official NASA portrait of astronaut Sunita Williams wearing a full white Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit. The bulky suit displays an American flag patch on the left shoulder, a mission patch on the right, and various controls on the chest pack; she holds the gold-visored helmet. With long dark hair framing her smiling face, she poses confidently in front of a large draped American flag against a cloudy Earth-toned backdrop, symbolizing American space exploration.
A color photograph of NASA astronaut Sunita Williams captured mid-stride running on a treadmill in zero gravity, secured by a white harness and bungee cords attached to her waist and shoulders. She wears a navy blue sleeveless top and shorts, athletic shoes, and gray socks, with her curly dark hair floating weightlessly. The busy ISS module around her features blue handrails, equipment racks, cables, monitors, and various floating items.
NASA astronaut Sunita Williams completed the #BostonMarathon in 2007 in 4:23:46 from the International Space Station while orbiting the Earth at ~17,500 mph. First person to run a marathon in space.
She qualified for Boston on Earth with a time of 3:29:57 in the Houston Marathon.

Last year, I told New Yorkers: we would open city-owned grocery stores to take on the affordability crisis.
Today, we're delivering five stores in each borough — with the first opening next year.
Here's to healthy families, thriving communities, and promises kept.

You swore an oath to defend the Constitution, not to protect a man who threatens democracy, threatens war, and threatens the future.
Stop hiding behind voters.
Stop punting responsibility.
DO YOUR JOBS.👇

Tens of thousands chant “Russians, go home!” at tonight’s anti-Orbán concert in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square ahead of Sunday’s Hungarian election.

Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺
Cartoonists are chronicling the madness of this moment in real time.
