The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and highest-energy particle accelerator. It is expected to address some of the most fundamental questions of physics, advancing the understanding of the deepest laws of nature.

This six-minute video explains the design of the collider, which operates under several key stages in order to receive the desired outcome of each run. Through these runs, we hope to one day have an “instruction manual” of universe creation, understanding how everything got here, and where it’s all eventually going.

In Chile’s Atacama Desert, astronomers peer deep into the cosmos in search for answers concerning the origins of life. Nearby, a group of women sift through the sand searching for body parts of loved ones, dumped unceremoniously by Pinochet’s regime.

The dominant rayed crater in the upper portion of the image is Debussy, according to NASA. The smaller crater, Matabei, with its dark rays, is visible to the west of Debussy. The bottom portion of the full image is near Mercury’s south pole and includes a region of Mercury’s surface not previously seen by spacecraft.

This much, we do know…
