LHC is the highest-energy particle collider ever made and is considered as "one of the great engineering milestones of

mankind. The LHC was built in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100 countries.  It lies in a

tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference, as deep as 175 metres (574 ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva,

Switzerland

an array of astronomical cameras and telescopes and computing facility that is surveying the sky on a continual

basis, including accurate astrometry and photometry of detected objects. Its primary mission is to detect near-

Earth objects that threaten impact events

One of the world's most creative and busiest performing arts centres and greatest triumphs of modern architecture. Many of

the world’s best known construction companies were involved in building Sydney Opera House including Arups Structural

Engineering, Hornibrook and Rider Hunt. The Concert Hall Grand Organ is the largest mechanical organ in the world.

Construction began in 2003 and was completed in 2009 at a cost of $6.2 billion. Bush stretches 1,092 feet and displaces over

100,000 tons, making her one of the world’s largest warships . Her top speed exceeds 30 knots; powered with two nuclear

reactors, she can operate for more than 20 years without refueling.

The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite in low Earth orbit. Now

the largest artificial body in orbit, it can often be seen at the appropriate time with the naked eye from Earth. To

build such a massive structure in such dangerous conditions is one magnificent tribute to both human will

and skill.
