The Scientific Revolution occurs in Europe around this period, greatly accelerating the progress of science and contributing to the rationalization of the natural sciences. 16th century: Gerolamo Cardano solves the general cubic equation (by reducing them to the case with zero quadratic term).
New images from the Euclid space telescope are published, including a view of the Messier 78 star nursery. [274] Astronomers using TESS report the discovery of Gliese 12 b, a Venus-sized exoplanet located 40 light-years away, with an equilibrium temperature of 315 K (42 °C; 107 °F). This makes it the nearest, transiting, temperate, Earth ...

Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, our view of the universe has exploded, to encompass many more galaxies and phenomenal exoplanet discoveries. The Most Important Discovery of 2022 Is Our ...
2016 was an incredible year for discoveries in space, but you’ve probably even forgotten some of the amazing things we now know.
Such discoveries are often a multi-step, multi-person process. Multiple discovery sometimes occurs when multiple research groups discover the same phenomenon at about the same time, and scientific priority is often disputed. The listings below include some of the most significant people and ideas by date of publication or experiment.
The year 2003 was an exciting one for new scientific discoveries and technological breakthroughs progress in many scientific fields. Some of the highlights of 2003, which will be further discussed below, include: the anthropologic discovery of 350,000-year-old footprints attesting to the presence of upright-walking humans; SpaceShipOne flight 11P making its first supersonic flight; the ...
While searching an unusual cold spot in space first discovered more than a decade ago, scientists have discovered what they say is the largest known structure in the universe -- a supervoid, ITN ...
