A peculiar granite monument that some have dubbed "America's Stonehenge" but a conservative politician condemned as "Satanic" was torn down on Wednesday by authorities in rural Georgia hours after it was heavily damaged in a bombing by vandals. Investigators from several law enforcement agencies converged on the site 100 miles (161 km) east of Atlanta seeking clues to the pre-dawn explosion that blew a portion of the 42-year-old monument, called the Georgia Guidestones, to pieces.

A U.S. Navy destroyer that engaged a superior Japanese fleet in the largest sea battle of World War II in the Philippines has become the deepest wreck to be discovered, according to explorers. The USS Samuel B. Roberts, popularly known as the “Sammy B,” was identified on Wednesday broken into two pieces on a slope at a depth of 6,985 meters (22,916 feet). That puts it 426 meters (1,400 feet) deeper than the USS Johnston, the previous deepest wreck discovered last year in the Philippine Sea also by American explorer Victor Vescovo, founder of Dallas-based Caladan Oceanic Expeditions. He announced the latest find together with U.K.-based EYOS Expeditions.

Bonnie Lautenberg series on view now at the Boca Raton Museum of Art The new exhibition “Art Meets Hollywood” is the museum premiere of Bonnie Lautenberg’s new series of digital collages, 28 diptychs pairing scenes from famous films alongside iconic works of art. Lautenberg’s only rule for her experimental process is that both the film and the artwork originated within the same year. On view now at Boca Raton Museum of Art (Boca Raton, Florida, US), Lautenberg channels the creative zeitgeist between filmmakers and artists during each year that she intuitively chronicles, starting in 1928 up until 2020. Lautenberg plays matchmaker to the 1957 movie Funny Face by combining Audrey Hepburn’s bold pose with Clifford Still’s painting PH971--both majestic, and both glamorous. When...

The zookeepers at Cuba's National Zoo are especially proud of Ale, a pudgy, gray-brown baby white rhinoceros born earlier this month on the outskirts of capital Havana. For starters, he's cute. Baby rhinos look similar to adults, but have a stub in place of the horn and thus, are more docile in appearance. A newly-born white rhinoceros follows its mother (not pictured) at the National Zoo in Havana, Cuba, June 24, 2022.

"It is a great privilege for us to be able to contribute to the rescue of a species as threatened as the w...

The cost and scope of the damage is still being assessed, Yellowstone Superintendent Cam Sholly said Wednesday. Visitors walk on boardwalks in the Upper Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo., Wedn...
