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 greatly exposed as the largest science research of all time, was surely, with absolute confidence, 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 workers from 111 nations. Activated for the first time in September 2008, the LHC will probably be used to help physicists understand more complicated matters something like dark matter and other mysteries of the universe. But some mechanical problems prompted the LHC to shut down until around the summer of 2009.

ADDITIONAL TRIVIA:
Many people feared that the Large Hardon Collider (LHC) would be so powerful that it might make 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 surface of Mars that turned out to contain H2O - good old water, just like on Earth. While the Mars Odyssey Orbiter had already found indication of water in the shape of ice, the Phoenix event was the very first time a NASA probe had actually "touched and tasted" water sample. This was thrilling for the scientists because water- especially if it gets warm enough to melt from ice to liquid - is one good indicator of the possibility of life around the Red Planet
