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

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)

The Large Hardon Collider or the LHC, can be described as highly exposed as the biggest science research of all time, was surely, with absolute confidence, the most expensive, costing about a staggering $9 billion. The LHC, the most powerful particle collider ever assembled, was developed near Geneva in Switzerland, by a group of more than 10, 000 scientists and support staff from 111 nations. Activated for the very first time in September 2008, the LHC might be used to aid physicists understand more complicated matters something like dark matter and other mysteries of the universe. But some mechanical troubles caused the LHC to shut down 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 good news is it did not.

The Martian Refreshments
Over the summer, NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander spacecraft took soil samples from 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 shape 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 thaw from ice to liquid - is one good indicator of the possibility of life on the Red Planet
