#merchtodon delivered 
Pins - my fav!!! beyond expectation, great quality, with even two clutches on the back (so the pin won’t randomly rotate upside down), so impressed by this detail.
Stickers - smaller than I thought but great quality as well. Love every single design!!!
Tshirt - the colors on T-shirts do not seem as brilliant as the ones on those pins, other than that everything is great, the smallest size can fit petite females with the tshirt tucked in. The sizing with mastodon logo is sooooo damn cute!!
Packaging - the only thing that might need improvement is the packaging. International delivery is fast (within a week from UK to US) but the paper envelope got one giant hole on it, and my pins almost fall out from it 
I’d cry to death if it really happened… hope international packaging can get sturdier in the future !

“… in the stunning Webb [near IR] view, the planet's dark and ghostly appearance is due to atmospheric methane that absorbs infrared light… Coated with frozen nitrogen, Neptune's largest moon Triton is brighter than Neptune in reflected sunlight, seen at the upper left sporting the Webb telescope's characteristic diffraction spikes. Including Triton, seven of Neptune's 14 known moons can be identified in the field of view.”
