We're virtually four months through the year and a lot has happened, so here is your four month round up of all the latest, and ever continuing developments in the world of science.
Scientists have begun to start communication once more with the Philae lander on the Rosetta Comet. Last year scientists achieved the impossible as they managed to land Philae on the moving Rosetta comet. Unfortunately late last year the lander lost power but scientists are now hoping the lander will receive enough sunlight to recharge the batteries using the solar panels on the lander.
Scientists have also commenced the #missiontohell, sending a probe inside the orbit of mercury, venturing well beyond what we've ever done before, all through enormously high temperatures!
Lunar Mission One have also issued a status update on the 10 year long mission to the moon to study the full depth of the moon's surface.
And only today in fact the king who changed the potential status of the whole monarchy was reburied. He gave us an incredible insight to the genes of the royals and they traced his genes though many generations to find a living descendent so they could in fact confirm this was Richard III. There were also surprising revelations over the King himself, that he did in fact have scoliosis, (curvature of the spine)
Also today there has been revelations that the co-pilot of the crashed German wings plane wanted the plane to descend. This poses millions of questions as to why this actually happened, even should that kind of control go to the pilots?
As we begin to look towards the second half of the year, British astronaut Tim Peake enters the final stages of his training to become an astronaut on the ISS for 6 months, doubtless following in the footsteps of Chris Hadfield.
Whatever you think about science, this year, in its relatively early stages has brought up a whole load more developments and will continue to do so throughout the rest of 2015.
to be continued...
