TOP 10 discoveries of Decade

hu disrobeg of Eris in 2005 by Mike Brown, a minor body that is 27 percent bigger than Pluto. Eris had trumped Pluto and become the 9th largest body know to sphere the sun. The finding became the trigger that changed the face of our solar system, defining the planets and adding Pluto to a growing family of dwarf planets in 2006 by International Astronomical pairing (IAU) 9. T. rex Tissue Dug from Bone the discovery of what appeared to be soft tissues derivation vessels, bone matrix and other cells inside the fossilized femur of a small T. rex in 2005.(Tyrannosaurus)Since then, the bones have revealed amino acids that resemble those of sophisticated chickens, firming the link between dinosaurs and birds 8. Dark Matters Existence Confirmed Directly is the hire confirmation of the mysterious dark matter in the summer of 2006 Until then, the creative activity of dark matter was inferred by the fact that galaxies have only one-fifth of the visible matter needed to create the gra vity that keeps them intact. So, the rest must be invisible to telescopes That unseen matter is dark. 7. New forgiving Ancestors turn outis the emergence of untested valet de chambre ancestors, first, in the form of a 6- to 7-million- course of study-old skull of Sahelanthropus tchadensis known as Toumai, in northern Chad in 2002. Then, in 2009, the nearly neck skeleton of Ardi, in northeastern Ethiopia bumped the famous Lucy as the earliest, most collar skeleton of a human ancestor ever found 6. unknown Planets Seen Directly is an astronomer seeing alien planets, or exoplanets, directly in 2008, using the Hubble Space Telescope and the infrared Keck and Gemini observatories in Hawaii5. valet de chambre Meld with Machines is the concept of cyborgs that is, half-machine, half-humans, becoming a reality in the die hard decade, as much progress has been made with people controlling robotic limbs and computers with their minds 4. staunch Cells Found in New Sources is finding o f stem cells in new sources in 2007, when scientists from Kyoto University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, essentially turned back the clock for adult skin cells, allowing these mature cells, which were preprogrammed to become skin, to act like embryonic stem cells3. damage Surface Gives up Signs of Water is the discovery of water ice on the surface of Mars in 2008 by NASAs Mars Phoenix lander 2. Human Genome Mapped is the development of the rough draft of the entire human genome in the year 2000, followed by a completed version in 2003. Since decoding the human genome, dozens of other species have had their genomes sequenced, including pigs, dogs, bees, mosquitoes, puffer fish, chimpanzees, yeast, corn, and rice.With these maps in hand, scientists can and bequeath discover new ways to heal diseases or improve coiffure yields 1. Glaciers Melting Fast When the 21st century began, scientists studying Earths climate thought the gigantic ice caps on Greenland and Antarctica w ould melt belatedly around the edges and lag behind the overall global warming of climate. entirely this past decade, the warmest on record, proved the climate modelers wrong Glaciers have been melt much faster than ever expected and researchers have been trying to get word why
