Ancient meteor may have shaped the Grand Canyon

A massive meteor strike near Winslow, Arizona, 56,000 years ago might have triggered a landslide that blocked the Colorado River, creating a huge ancient lake right in the Grand Canyon! Imagine a 50-mile-long lake, nearly 300 feet deep, flooding caves high up the canyon walls—explaining how driftwood and ancient artifacts ended up in places geologists have puzzled over for decades. This new research connects two of Arizona’s most iconic landmarks and challenges what we thought we knew about the canyon’s past. What do you think—could a single cosmic event really reshape a landscape this dramatically? #Science #GrandCanyon #ArizonaHistory
