Asteroid’s Troughs Suggest Stunted Planet
An image taken by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft on July 24, 2011, shows troughs along the equator of the asteroid Vesta, including Divalia Fossa, which is larger than the Grand Canyon. A new study analyzing these troughs finds that they are probably graben – a dip in the surface with faults on either side that would indicate that Vesta has characteristics much like a planet or large moon.

The Wildlife Center Says Thank You Los Alamos!
The staff and critters at The Wildlife Center would like to send a giant thank you to everyone who has continued to supply us with fresh fruit tree branches and apples and pears to sustain the four mule deer fawns and elk calf in care. We greatly rely on these contributions to provide these little ones with natural forage. The current target release date for these animals is the first part of November. Please spread the word and keep these goodies coming. We also have a young porcupine in care and are in need of chewing logs for her. Thank you for your efforts from TWC.
