Welcome back to my blog! I hope you all had a great Christmas and an amazing new year!
So much in science happened last year. Until last year, Pluto was a place we knew pretty much nothing about but in 2015, we finally made it to Pluto, the images came back and the results where simply stunning. Scientists formulated a computer generated face of our past - shaking up the history of our origin. There was also a record breaking effort to travel around the world in a solar plane - a journey however which was not difficulty free. Scientists also put in place some radical plans to protect endangered animals and to put poachers off of them. This involved things like marking shells of tortoises so they'd no longer be sell-able by poachers. Paris also held a major climate summit to formulate a deal to finally attempt to combat the growing issue of global warming. Finally, in December the UK had its first official British Astronaut, Major Tim Peake, who took off from Kazakhstan to spend 5 1/2 months on board the ISS. This event brought to a close a momentous year in science, although one which can hopefully be bettered this year!
