Sumario:On 27 January 1971, two beams of protons collided in the ISR for the first time. This machine was a true pioneer and paved the way for the operation of the SPS as the first proton–antiproton collider in the 1980s, and subsequently for the development of the LHC. released on 11 January, are already providing new insights into astrophysics and augur well for the future, with plenty more contributions to cosmology still to come.
