The first recognition of cosmic microwave background radiation as a detectable phenomenon occurs.
This confirmation secured the "Big Bang" theory as the best thought as to the origin and evolution of the universe.

Spacecraft "Ranger 7" sends back to Earth the first close-up photographs of the Moon.
These images are 1,000 times clearer than anything ever seen from Earth-bound telescopes.

Probe "Mariner 4" is launched with the intention of exploring Mars (by means of a flyby).
Designed to conduct closeup scientific observations and transmit these photographs and observations back to Earth,
this probe produced the first close-up pictures of another planet's surface.

The first heart transplant was done on a Human, using a chimpanzee heart.
The organ is rejected just a few hours later.
