25 Best Scientific Discoveries in the Last Decade from My Point of View
- In march 2010, anthropologists discovered a tiny, long finger in DENISOVA CAVE in SIBERIA. they determined it belonged to previously undiscovered species of human ancestor.
- While 2010 was a watershed year for anthropology, 2011 was all about achievements in space. NASA sent a new rover to mars, called Curiosity.
- In November 2011, NASA announced that its planet hunting. Kepler space telescope had spotted its first potentially habitable planet kepler 22-b.
- In May 2012, ELON MUSK's aerospace company, SpaceX made history by sending the first-ever commercial space craft to dock with the INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (ISS).
- Other scientists disciplines made incredible headway in 2012, too. Physicists reported the detection of a new type of particle called the HIGGS BOSON (GOD PARTICLE).
- In 2013, NASA, astronomers observed plumes of water vapour being ejected from the frigid, icy surface of JUPITER's moon, EUROPA.
- In the same year, researchers also successfully served the first ever lab-grown hamburger.
- The European Space Agency got sometime in spotlight in 2014 . In November, the agency's ROSETTA SPACE PROBE landed on a comet which is 372 million miles from EARTH called 67p or Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
- In 2015, anthropologist Lee Berger announced that his team had discovered a new human ancestor species called HOMO NALEDI in South Africa.
- That was also the year that scientists mapped the human epigenome for the first time.
- Humanity visited PLUTO for the first time in 2015, when NASA's New Horizons probe flew by the Dwarf Planet.
- Another NASA spacecraft Cassini, achieved new heights in 2015. Astronomers confirmed that a liquid ocean exists under the icy crust of SATURN's moon Enceladus.
- In 2016, an artificial intelligence program from Google's Deepmind division, called AlphaGo, beat the world champion of the strategy game Go in four out of five matches.
In 2016 the black-hole collision that reshaped physics.A momentous signal from space has confirmed decades of theorizing on black holes — and launched a new era of gravitational-wave astronomy.
- In 2017, geologists announced they'd discovered a new continent (ZEALANDIA) under the Pacific Ocean.
- That year brought a new breakthrough in genetics, too.Scientists successfully created synthetic DNA.
- The year 2017 also brought breakthroughs in self driving car technology.
- Astronomers witnessed another interstellar collision in 2017. when two neutron stars collided, scientists were able to see how all the Gold in the universe was created.
- In 2018, NASA launched rover to the red planet (MARS). InSight touched down on November 26.
- In 2018, Scientists found that atmospheric carbon dioxide had researched its highest level in at least 8,oo,ooo years.
- On January 1, 2019, NASA's nuclear-powered New Horizons spacecraft flew past a mysterious mountain-sized object(MU69) 4 billion miles away from EARTH to reveal new clues about the solar system's evolution and how planet like Earth formed.
- In April 2019, the event Horizon Telescope team published the first ever image of a black hole.
- In 2020 now Astronomers have found a new planet (KOI-456.04) like Earth orbiting a star like Sun(Kepler-160).
- In 2020 astronomers have spotted the first known Light Flare from two Black holes collided in deep space. We may have seen it happen for the first time.
