50 outstanding science and technology images in 2015 (Part II)

The first color photo from Pluto, blooming flowers on the desert, meteor shower, blood moon, the longest glass bridge in the world opened 2 weeks and cracked, . are some of the many representatives Outstanding science and technology events that scientists from all over the world have achieved in the past 2015.

The year is almost over, now is an opportunity for us to look back over the past year with 50 photos representing 50 science and technology events below.

After a 9-year journey, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft finally reached Pluto and this is one of the images it sent to Earth.

This is a photograph taken by the Casini spacecraft during the moment when the planetary shift took place in May this year.Transit occurs when a celestial body moves in front of another object.The picture above takes place when Saturn's Dione moon moves in front of the planet.Scientists took advantage of teleportation to accurately identify information about the orbit of Saturn's moons.

Over many failed attempts, Elon Musk's space company SpaceX successfully launched the Falcon 9 rocket, bringing the satellite into orbit and then landing gently back to the ground.This is a huge success, promising to create a revolution in the aerospace industry in the near future.

Health organizations have finally controlled the Ebola outbreak in Africa.However, 28,000 people were infected and 11,000 died of the disease.The introduction of specific treatment drugs is still experimental.

The amount of dust and smoke in China has reached an alarming level, 50 times higher than the safety threshold set by the World Health Organization WHO.Many people have to wear masks wherever and some places, people also have to buy fresh air from other countries to breathe.Above is a traffic police regulating traffic during a foggy day in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, captured on October 21 this year.

Discovered water flowing on Mars.A finding that NASA had to devote a solemn ceremony to announce to the world after many days of opening.This is probably one of the greatest discoveries in the aerospace industry, contributing to enhancing the understanding of Mars and thereby increasing the feasibility of future Mars missions.

This cow deserves to wear a bow because it is about 1.84 meters tall, this is the tallest cow in the world as of now, certified by Guinness World Records.

While investigating fossil bones 75 million years ago of a dinosaur, scientists unknowingly discovered the first evidence of dinosaur blood cells.Specifically, inside the fossil debris of a dinosaur's nail, scientists found chemically identical cells compared to emu's blood cells (thought to have close relatives. most of dinosaurs).At the same time, they found many traces of collagen with fully preserved amino acids, .

The world's most powerful large particle accelerator Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has officially restarted after 2 years of suspension to upgrade.This time, the machine "doubled" in terms of the amount of energy created when it collided with atoms compared to before.This re-launch has had initial positive signals, not only verifying previous assumptions but also promising to discover more things in the future, including dark matter, black holes, . which are the most headache problems in modern physics.

By relying on schlieren imaging techniques invented by German physicist August Toepler in 1864 (which helps to record changes in air refractometer), combined with modern technologies By the 21st century, NASA has captured the image in the moment the plane is breaking the sound wall.

It is hard to believe that this is a real landscape in nature.Photographer Alexander Heilner captured the image from the plane while crossing the Intrepid Potash mine area, near Moab, Utah.And from here, we are not too difficult to guess the origin of these colors - an art of chemistry.

In July, Swiss pilot Andre Borschberg made a 5-day continuous flight over 5000 miles (more than 8050 km) on the Solar Impulse 2 aircraft operating entirely on solar power.

The photo won the first prize in the Wildlife Photographer 2015 held by London's Natural History Museum, depicting a whale swallowing hundreds of sardines in a sip of its sip.This photo has to pass more than 42,000 entries to win the first prize and will be displayed at the museum on the upcoming April 2016.

After 43 years of sleep, the volcano Calbuco in Chile exploded and became active again.The explosion seemed to be too sudden for the local residents, but the government was able to evacuate 4,000 people within a 20 km radius around the mountain.Of the 90 volcanoes in Chile, this is considered one of the three most dangerous mountains, but this boom has no injuries or deaths.In the picture are smoke and dust rising from the mountain when viewed from the city of Puerto Montt taken on April 22.

This is the first hot-blooded fish discovered by researchers at the US National Oceanic and Meteorological Center.Unlike other cold-blooded fish, this moon fish can produce heat when they swim, providing warmth throughout the body through special blood vessels.At the same time, they also have a special bearing to limit maximum heat loss, they keep the sound even at depths of nearly 80 meters below sea level.

Global temperatures have reached record levels in 2015 and of course, this is just one of many complicated developments caused by climate change.

CRISPR Cas9 gene refining technique is considered a great breakthrough in 21st century biotechnology and by using this toolkit, Chinese scientists have created a super dog with muscle mass more corn than usual.This can be said to be a technical success but at the same time, it also raises a wave of fierce moral controversy as well as the harmful effects of indiscriminate genetic modification that may take place in the future.

And in the same matter, the US Food and Drug Administration has issued a license to circulate edible genetically modified animals: the fast-growing genetically modified salmon.

A red fox is standing and holding a smaller fox in its mouth at the snow-covered tundra of Wapusk National Park, Canada.The photo taken earlier this winter brought home first prize photographer Don Gutoski during the Wildlife Photographer Contest this year.

This is a photograph taken below 120 times magnification, close to the eyes of a honey bee covered with dandelion pollen.The photo won first place in this year's Nikon Small World competition.

NASA and Japan collaborate, combine their telescopes and their spacecraft to take a great picture of the Sun with bright spots, areas of intense activity on the surface.

Millions of flowers bloom at the world's largest flower garden Keukenhof in the Netherlands.This is also known as the garden of Europe.Great.

This is an image in the dream of artificial intelligence developed by Google.By using an artificial neural network, teaching it to learn by millions of images, Google hopes that they can increase the accuracy of identifying AI images, thereby providing users with powerful tools. stronger.However, this year also witnessed the rise of AI technology and opinions that oppose it for reasons that would threaten human existence if misused.

Astronauts Barry Wilmore (NASA) and Alexander Samokutyaev and Elena Serova (Russia) are sitting in a pupa module, on the way from the ISS international space station to Earth.Photographs of them flying above the clouds before landing on Kazakhstan in March this year.

A new species of mudfish has been found deep in the ocean in the northern Gulf of Mexico.This 95mm fish was discovered at a depth of 1500 meters, where the water pressure was up to 1 ton, enough to show how horrible its stamina was.
