This is the first instance of a gravitational wave event observed to have a simultaneous electromagnetic signal when space telescopes like Hubble observed lights coming from the event, thereby marking a significant breakthrough for multi-messenger astronomy. [137] [138] [139]
This timeline lists significant discoveries in physics and the laws of nature, including experimental discoveries, theoretical proposals that were confirmed experimentally, and theories that have significantly influenced current thinking in modern physics. Such discoveries are often a multi-step, multi-person process.

20 May – The first measurements of an exoplanet's core mass are obtained by the James Webb Space Telescope. This reveals a surprisingly low amount of methane and a super-sized core within the super-Neptune WASP-107b. [303] 23 May. New images from the Euclid space telescope are published, including a view of the Messier 78 star nursery. [304]
Their work led to some novel discoveries, helped formalize sciences such as archaeology, and spurred an infatuation with Egypt that's continued ever since. 1. The discovery that chemical reactions ...
The Hubble Space Telescope, the first large optical telescope in orbit, is launched using the Space Shuttle, but astronomers soon discovered that it is crippled by a problem with its mirror. A complex repair mission in 1993 allows the telescope to start producing spectacular images of distant stars, nebulae, and galaxies.
Here are the top seven science and technology breakthroughs, from fields like AI and space travel, that made 2021 a big year for exploration. The post The Best Science and Tech Breakthroughs of ...
DeepMind used artificial intelligence for the first time to predict protein folding. [1]Singapore became the first jurisdiction to approve the sale of cultured meat. [2]The vaccines produced by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna against Coronavirus disease 2019 became the first vaccines developed using messenger RNA [3] and mark the fastest vaccine development and approval, taking only 10 months.
