The surface of the comet surface 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko was taken by Philae from about 7.8km from October 26, 2014. The Philae probe landed on the comet surface of 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko on November 12, the first in the world to successfully land a comet. Scientists have confirmed that Philae has discovered 'organic molecules' containing carbon - the basis of life on Earth on comets 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko - (Photo: REUTERS / ESA / Rosetta)

The Antarctic Observatory System and BICEP Telescope at Amundsen-Scott Antarctic Station on the Milky Way sky. The photo was published on March 17, 2014, during a research team led by experts at the Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (USA) who discovered gravitational waves when observing cosmic background radiation. by BICEP telescope in Antarctica. BICEP targets an area called 'south hole' outside the galaxy - where there is little cosmic dust.Detecting gravitational waves immediately after the Big Bang explosion is considered a shock when the curtain is gradually removed from the birth of the universe - (Photo: REUTERS / Keith Vanderlinde / National Science Foundation)
