A University of Utah-based research published a paper revealing new insights as to how the present-day Zion National Park’s natural formation came to be. Published in GSA Today, the research asserts that a massive landslide chiseled the park’s breathtaking scenery with top speed reaching 180 to 200 miles per hour in just 20 seconds.
NASA has released to the public stunning pictures of Pluto captured by the New Horizons spaceprobe intended to observe the ex-ninth planet and its surrounding moons.
