In 2005 the Sloan Digital Sky Survey burst onto the scene--an amazingly detailed new map of the universe created by a small group of visionary scientists, led by the beloved and multi-talented astronomer James Gunn--just awarded the National Medal of Science. Suddenly cosmologists were flooded with so many powerful new discoveries that, as one said, it was like drinking out of a fire hose. At last they could trace the universe's whole history and peer into vast swaths of never before charted deep space. The Sloan survey was put on the web for free, and it has launched a brave new era of "eAstronomy" in which anyone who wants to is free to probe into the beautiful and far-reaching depths of the Sloan map and discover a new galaxy or name a new super-nova.
In The Grand and Bold Thing critically acclaimed science writer Ann Finkbeiner tells the inside story of how Gunn and his band of comrades pulled off this remarkable achievement and of the astonishing array of new cosmological findings that the Sloan Survey has made possible. This is a book that cosmology buffs and every armchair astronomer will relish.

Great quality face cloths with a soft exfoliating texture to them.
Pattern Name: 50 count (1 pack of 50 ct)
Absolutely love these towels. So nice to have a clean towel every time you wash your face. They are the perfect texture for lightly exfoliating. These are just dry towels so you can use your own face wash with them. They are very durable. I tried ripping one in half once and was unable to. They are quite large and I have found that I can have twice as many by cutting them in half. They are still a great size after cutting them. I can definitely see why they are so highly rated. I definitely wasn't holding my breath with high hopes but after using them I am pleasantly surprised! They are quite reasonably priced especially if you cut them in half and if you subscribe to them for additional savings. Very surprised how much I love them!

SOOOO GOOD
Pattern Name: 50 count (1 pack of 50 ct)
I finally caved and bought these. I wish I would have hoped on this trend when it was first talked about in the skincare community because they are SO good, soft but also exfoliating, no scent, perfect for your face or anything else you want to clean. I did get the XL size without noticing but I’ll be buying these regularly. It makes doing my skincare at night so much easier.

💙 The Secret to a Cleaner Face & Clearer Skin
Pattern Name: 50 count (1 pack of 50 ct), Pattern Name: 50 count (1 pack of 50 ct)
“I’ve been using these Clean Skin Club Clean Towels and I really like them! They’re soft, durable, and feel much cleaner than using the same face towel repeatedly. They’re gentle on my skin, don’t cause irritation, and are great for drying my face after washing. I also love that they’re disposable and help keep bacteria away from my skincare routine. Definitely a great addition for anyone with sensitive or acne-prone skin. Highly recommend! 💙🧴”
