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

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)

The Large Hardon Collider or the LHC, is a extremely publicized as the largest science experiment of all time, was certainly, with no question, the most costly, costing about a staggering $9 billion. The LHC, the strongest particle collider ever assembled, was created near Geneva in Switzerland, by a group of more than 10, 000 scientists and support team from 111 nations. Activated for the first time in September 2008, the LHC will probably be utilized help physicists comprehend more complex issues for instance dark matter and other mysteries of the universe. But some mechanical problems resulted the LHC to stop working until around the summer of 2009.

ADDITIONAL TRIVIA:
Many people feared that the Large Hardon Collider (LHC) will be so powerful that it would make a black hole and swallow the world. 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, exactly like on Earth. While the Mars Odyssey Orbiter had already found sign 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 thrilling for the scientists because water- particularly if it gets warm enough to defrost from ice to liquid - is one good indicator of the possibility of life on the Red Planet
