The Biggest and Most Expensive Science Experiment and The Martian "Refreshment"

By: Khamie Manalotto

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)

The Large Hardon Collider or the LHC, can be described as highly made known as the largest science research of all time, was certainly, with absolute confidence, the most expensive, costing about a staggering $9 billion. The LHC, the strongest particle collider ever assembled, was developed near Geneva in Switzerland, by a group of at least 10, 000 scientists and support workers from 111 nations. Activated for the first time in September 2008, the LHC might be used to assist physicists comprehend more complicated matters such as dark matter and other mysteries of the universe. But some mechanical problems caused the LHC to stop working until around the summer of 2009.

ADDITIONAL TRIVIA:
Most individuals feared that the Large Hardon Collider (LHC) can be so powerful that it might produce a black hole and swallow the universe. Thanks God! The excellent news is it did not.

The Martian Refreshments
Over the summer, NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander spacecraft took soil samples belonging to the exterior of Mars that turned out to contain H2O - good old water, simillar to on Earth. While the Mars Odyssey Orbiter had already found facts of water in the form of ice, the Phoenix event was the very first time a NASA probe had in fact "touched and tasted" water sample. This was exciting for the scientists because water- particularly if it gets warm enough to liquefy from ice to liquid - is one good indicator of the potential of life on the Red Planet
