“Everything is edible…once. Buckthorn berries won’t kill you, but they’ll make you wish you were dead.” Ouch! 😂 Come join us today at 3p if you've got ideas on what to do with Buckthorn! #buckthorn #invasivespecies #thethinkingspot #events

It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field. Previewed by President Donald J. Trump on July 11, it shows galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of NASA Webb Telescope's first full-color images & data will be revealed July 12: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages

Just wow!

Clouds are in the forecast for exoplanet WASP-96 b! ☁️ Webb spotted the unambiguous signature of water, indications of haze & evidence for clouds (once thought not to exist there)! This is the most detailed exoplanet spectrum to date: nasa.gov/webbfirstimage… #UnfoldTheUniverse

Some stars go out with a bang. In these images of the Southern Ring planetary nebula, NASA Webb Telescope shows a dying star cloaked by dust and layers of light. Explore this star's final performance at nasa.gov/webbfirstimages #UnfoldTheUniverse.

Take Five: Captured in exquisite detail, NASA Webb Telescope peered through the thick dust of Stephan’s Quintet, a galaxy cluster showing huge shockwaves and tidal tails. This is a front-row seat to galactic evolution: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages #UnfoldTheUniverse

Galaxies collide in Stephan’s Quintet, pulling and stretching each other in a gravitational dance. In the mid-infrared view here, see how Webb pierces through dust, giving new insight into how interactions like these may have driven galaxy evolution in the early universe.

Webb's mosaic is its largest image to date, covering an area of the sky 1/5 of the Moon’s diameter (as seen from Earth). It contains more than 150 million pixels and is constructed from about 1,000 image files. Compare the new image to Hubble’s 2009 view, shown here!

🌟 A star is born! Behind the curtain of dust and gas in these “Cosmic Cliffs” are previously hidden baby stars, now uncovered by Webb. We know — this is a show-stopper. Just take a second to admire the Carina Nebula in all its glory: nasa.gov/webbfirstimage… #UnfoldTheUniverse

53 years ago today, Apollo 11 landed on the Moon. Here are some of the people who truly worked behind the scenes to make that historic moment happen. As told in my book, "Eight Years to the Moon" youtu.be/-Z5tXFYxEM0

My very own chalkboard! Finally feel like a "real" bookstore!😅

Pretty much everyone is impacted by Distracted Driving at some point. Check out this #event on #DistractedDriving to find out what you can do about it. thethinkingspot.us/event-details/…

Did you know The Thinking Spot offers Audio books? libro.fm/thethinkingspot We have partnered with Libro.fm, a social benefit company that supports independent bookstores with each purchase : libro.fm/howitworks?boo… #audiobooks #maketheswitch #librofm #thethinkingspot

😂 A reminder that we continue to need more women in engineering. Here's a great (bilingual!) book about just that curiositymakestheengineer.com. It teaches about women in STEM fields to inspire and encourage girls to look towards those fields as possible careers. 👩‍🔬

Thrilled to be featured in the August issue of Lake Minnetonka Magazine ! lakeminnetonkamag.com/thinking-spot-… Guess what book is being read? *Hint* It's by our most popular Author! #books #science #thethinkingspot

IMPACT SUCCESS! Watch from #DARTMIssion’s DRACO Camera, as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium and poses no threat to Earth.

Super excited to meet Drew Brockington!!! and draw some space kittens!
