 Discoveries In Area Space
Since there are many discoveries by space
scientist but there are few new discoveries such
as :

 1. A New Dwarf Planet
Until 2005,the finest minds in space exploration
had decided there were nine planets in our solar
system.
As far as everyone was concerned Pluto was the
ninth but that all changed with the discovery of
Eris, a planet which was 27per cent bigger than
Pluto. Both Pluto and Eris were than classified as
‘dwarf planets’.
 2. Discovery Of Exoplanets
Exoplanets are planets that orbit a different star other than our Sun - in a
different solar system to the one we are in.
And further work to look for other ones has turned up some exciting results
more recently too.
Earlier in 2015, scientists discovered the exoplanet Kepler-452b, which
was described as 'earth's cousin' because of its close similarities to our
planet.
Space experts say Exoplanets are really important because they raise the
possibility that other life could exist in other solar system.
 3. Black Holes Exist
The idea of a black hole has been around for centuries, but for years it was
difficult for scientists to prove they existed.
Then, in 1990, the super strong Hubble telescope was launched into space.
It was designed to take clear pictures of the deepest parts of space and
these pictures have helped to prove the existence of black holes.
Hubble can't see black holes themselves, but it can see where a black hole
has pulled in matter from around it.
Black holes are believed to be dying stars that collapse inward from their
own weight. Their pull of gravity becomes so strong that even light can't
escape, which is why it looks black.
 4. Exploring Mars For The First Time
In 1976, Nasa's Viking mission became the first successful
spacecraft to land on Mars.
It returned amazing colour pictures, soil samples and extensive
scientific information about the planet. The craft also carried
out an experiment which, for the first time, suggested that life
might be possible on Mars.
Exploration on Mars has continued with the Curiosity Rover and
more recently the announcement that liquid water was found
on the red planet's surface. Scientists say this raises the
possibility that life could exist on the planet.
 5. First Landing On A Comet
The Rosetta mission became the first
to successfully land on a comet in 2014.
It was seen as an historic moment as it allowed
scientists to study the materials that make up a
comet for the first time.
Ongoing tests from the comet hope to find out
more about how the universe was formed.
