Discovery of the Higgs Boson
On 4th July 2012 the Higgs Boson was discovered by the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) in CERN. This finding could help to explain the origin of the mass, and it was the last piece remaining to help to understand the universe. It is so important that they won The Nobel Prize in physics.
In my opinion it is a very nice find because it might lead to new discoveries. Moreover, the scientists had to work very hard to achieve these results and I think they shouldn’t stop the researches. goo.gl/fTRmGu -
First man on the Moon. 21 July 1969.
On that day Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were able to have a walk on the Moon. This can be one of the greatest moments in the history of humankind.
All the people working at NASA had to work really hard during years to make this happen.
We must be very proud of this event which shows the capabilities of men and women.
It seems that the space race has finished nowadays but we shouldn’t lost hope to find life outside out planet.
