Description
The Day the Universe Exploded My Head: Poems to Take You Into Space and Back AgainHang on tight for a raucous bounce through the solar system and back propelled by funny, fanciful, factually sound poems and exuberant illustrations. The universe poured into me. My brain was overloaded. It smoked and glowed red hot. And then it actually exploded. Ever wonder what the sun has to say about being the closest star to Earth? Or what Pluto has gotten up to since being demoted to a dwarf planet? Or where rocket ships go when they retire?
Hang on tight for a raucous bounce through the solar system and back -- propelled by funny, fanciful, factually sound poems and exuberant illustrations. The universe poured into me.My brain was overloaded.
It smoked and glowed red-hot.
And then
it actually exploded. Ever wonder what the sun has to say about being the closest star to Earth? Or what Pluto has gotten up to since being demoted to a dwarf planet? Or where rocket ships go when they retire? Listen closely, because maybe, just maybe, your head will explode, too. With poetry that is equal parts accurate and entertaining -- and illustrations that are positively out of this world -- this book will enthrall amateur stargazers and budding astrophysicists as it reveals many of the wonders our universe holds. Space travelers in search of more information will find notes about the poems, a glossary, and a list of resources at the end.

Extremely satisfied
Size: 24x5.8, Color: Black, Size: 24x5.8, Color: Black
Very nice. I am extremely happy with them. I used painters tape to hold the bracket in place while I screwed it in, worked like a charm 😁 holds a lot of items

Good enough
Size: 15x6.8, Color: Black
As cheap as the day is long but functional. These are basically made out of highly compressed paper and finished to feel like wood. The first one I put up was good with a little tilt to the back which is fine. The second one has a more severe tilt and I had to bend the bracket down to decently level it out. They are sturdy enough to hold quite a bit of weight and look good for what they are. I'm not impressed but I'm also not disappointed, the price is a bit steep for what they are but they serve their purpose.

Great, but bring your own inserts.
Size: 24x7.9, Color: Black
These work great, easy to install. Happy with them. Only problem was the instructions say don’t use the include inserts on wallboard, which meant I had to go out and purchase my own. That’s OK, because I like to use inserts I trust.

Love the shelves, great quality and design. They are very sturdy and perfect for my need. I ordered wine glass holders from Amazon and attached them to the shelves. Impressed and amazed at the look.
