If you live in a bustling city, it can be easy to forget the beauty of nature that’s often just a short ride away. In a stunning new map, geographer and GIS analyst Robert Szucs has plotted the sprawling forests that blanket the continental United States. The map highlights the striking difference between the landscape of the coasts and the central US, where what appears to be a massive blank space reveals land that is dominated by deserts and plains instead of trees.
NEW Mysterious bright spots dotting the surface of the dwarf planet Ceres have baffled scientists since they were first spotted two years ago. NASA’s Dawn spacecraft captured the first images of two distinctly reflective areas in 2015 – and in the time since, scientists have detected hundreds more. A new study has found that the bright spots can be divided into four different categories, offering evidence that the dwarf planet may not be a ‘dead world’ after all; instead, the experts say it could still be experiencing geologic activity. Main image: A simulation of the bright areas of Occator Crater, Cerealia Facula in the center and Vinalia Faculae to the side. Top left, Ceres' 21-mile-wide Haulani Crater shows evidence of landslides from its crater rim, while Ahuna Mons (bottom left) is the only case in which the bright material on Ceres is not affiliated with an impact crater.

While scientists first estimated that the island with a 400-foot (120-meter) summit would last just a few months, new calculations suggest it could remain in its new place for as much as 30 years.
