Yesterday, the Large Hadron Collider once again had a beam of protons whizzing around its 27 km-long circumference! After a series of setbacks -- some devastating, holding up the world's largest scientific experiment for many months -- this milestone achieved shows that the collider is heading back to full operations, which should get started again next year.
