“What's happening around the center of this spiral galaxy? Seen in total, NGC 1512 appears to be a barred spiral galaxy - a type of spiral that has a straight bar of stars across its center.

"Questioning Everything: Keeping Our Minds Supple"
*"Questioning Everything: Keeping Our Minds Supple"* by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOM "Being open-minded means that we are willing to question everything, including those things we take for granted. A lot of people feel threatened if they feel they are being asked to question their cherished beliefs or their perception of reality. Yet questioning is what keeps our minds supple and strong. Simply settling on one way of seeing things and refusing to be open to other possibilities makes the mind rigid and generally creates a restrictive and uncomfortable atmosphere.

Donald Trump Jr. makes it to the cover of Time Magazine.
And look, it's not even fake! From the article: *So, how bad is it? Investigators in Congress and the Justice Department have miles to go before determining whether President Trump or his son, son-in-law or advisers cooperated--or even conspired--with Russian officials to tilt the outcome of last year's election. But this much is now clear, thanks to Trump Jr.'s Twitter stream: whether the Trumps teamed up with the Russians or not, they certainly wanted to.

Can Tillerson Referee The Qatar/Saudi Crisis?
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson walked away from the Middle East empty-handed this week, as his efforts to mediate the Qatar/Saudi crisis failed to bear fruit. The dispute is the most serious between the two sides in some time, but how much of it was brought on by the meeting in May between a new and very aggressive heir to the Saudi throne and President Donald Trump? Both are very aggressive toward Iran, and the conflict is being framed in pro- versus anti-Iran terms. Where do things go? Tune in to today's Liberty Report:
