The Higgs hunter has just turned 10. Why is no one celebrating?

[scienceping]

NEXT July will mark 50 years since humans set foot on the moon. The rumblings of commemoration can already be heard – even now Ryan Gosling, deputising for Neil Armstrong in the film First Man, is being castigated for failing to plant an American flag in the lunar regolith.

The moon landing was the first truly global media event, and an iconic expression of the human desire to explore and explain the universe. It is odd, then, that the anniversary of an event embodying that same aspiration has passed on 10 September with so little fanfare. With a global audience of more than 1 billion, the switch-on of the Large Hadron Collider was actually seen by more people than the moon landing. As we said at the time, it was “to physics what the Apollo programme was to space exploration”.
