 Let's look at some events of the past year. 2022 began with COVID-19 cases numbers exceeding 300 million worldwide. January 2022 also saw the first successful heart transplant from a pig to a human patient in Baltimore, in the United States. In February, the 2022 Winter Olympics was held in Beijing, making it the first city ever to host both the Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics. Shortly after, Vladimir Putin, despite international condemnation and sanctions, began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia. In March, researchers in the Antarctic announced they had found the endurance, one of the greatest ever undiscovered shipwrecks, which sank in 1915 during Ernest Shackleton's exploration. In April, we received news that a European Southern Observatory team had announced the discovery of a Micronova. And, in the following month, the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration revealed its first image of Sagittarius A, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. In June, an earthquake measuring a magnitude of 6.2 struck the Durand Line between Afghanistan and Pakistan, killing at least 1,163 people. In July came more sad news when former Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, was assassinated while giving a public speech in the city of Nara, Japan. From July to August, a series of severe heat waves hit Europe, causing at least 53,000 deaths and additionally causing major wildfires, travel disruption, and record-high temperatures in many countries. One week in September saw more history in the making. Queen Elizabeth II appointed Liz Truss as the 78th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Two days later, the Queen died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland at the age of 96. And two days after her death, her son Charles was officially proclaimed King of the United Kingdom at a ceremony at St. James's Palace in London. September saw more upheaval when protests erupted in Iran, following the death of Masa Amini in the custody of the country's morality police. In October, the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party was held. Xi Jinping was elected and thus began a third term as leader of China. Also in October, Elon Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion and amid a government crisis, Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after Liz Truss resigned. November saw the world population reaching $8 billion. That brings us to December. 2022 ends with great excitement as the FIFA World Cup is held in Qatar, with France and Argentina making it to the finals and Argentina winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
