1. A study found beaches on Henderson Island, off South America, contained about 37.7 million items of debris and had the highest density of plastic waste of any area in the world. This is not a scientific discovery to be proud of.
2. A giant iceberg broke away from the ice shelf in Antarctica Before it was completely separated, this giant iceberg had been almost separated from the Larsen C ice shelf for several months. Researchers have been monitoring the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica for some time, but at the end of 2016 a crack 18 kilometers long occurred.
3. Excavations of fossils and ancient artefacts in Kakadu National Park indicate humans reached mainland Australia at least 65 thousand years ago - 18,000 years earlier than previously thought. Excavations carried out at rock shelters near Kakadu National Park show humans managed to reach mainland Australia at least 65,000 years ago, which is 18,000 years earlier than first thought.
4. Towards the end of 2016, a number of scientists confirmed that a fossil discovered more than a decade ago actually contained brain tissue which had become the first brain fossil ever found.
5. NASA Successfully finding one planet the size of Earth is already quite an interesting discovery, but a solar system only 40 light years away (which is practically our interstellar neighbor) turns out to be home to seven planets the size of planet Earth. Three of the planets also lie in the so-called Goldilocks zone, where the range of temperatures on their surfaces allows for the presence of liquid water and possibly life.
