It was during this week in 1972 that former U.S. President, Richard Nixon made his week-long visit to China. It included a visit to the Great Wall of China, which dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368 to 1644). Check out our interactive view of the Great Wall in this free Topic!

Although Galileo Galilei discovered Jupiter’s moon, Europa in 1610, it wasn’t until the late 1990’s that data sent from an unmanned U.S. spacecraft (named “Galileo”) indicated that the moon has a liquid ocean under a thick crust of ice. See what else you might not have known about the largest planet in our solar system.
