A lot of the physics of 2015 was about how the ways in which we study the natural world had been improved or were improving.

- Hubble [turned 25](http://gaplogs.net/2015/04/23/hubble-at-25-my-picks/?ref=balaustine.mymagic.page)
- Half of the JWST's mirrors [got ready](http://gizmodo.com/aww-yeah-the-james-webb-space-telescope-has-half-its-m-1750502325?ref=balaustine.mymagic.page) (with no more delays announced ahead of its 2018 launch)
- The Udaipur Solar Observatory [came online](http://thewire.in/2015/07/08/a-telescope-that-gives-india-a-new-place-in-the-sun-5783/?ref=balaustine.mymagic.page)
- ISRO [launched](http://thewire.in/2015/09/23/why-astrosat-is-not-indias-hubble-11421/?ref=balaustine.mymagic.page) ASTROSAT
- The Foldscope [gained popularity](https://microcosmos.foldscope.com/?ref=balaustine.mymagic.page)
- The LHC [restarted](http://gaplogs.net/2015/03/13/the-large-hadron-collider-is-back-online-ready-to-shift-from-the-what-of-reality-to-why/?ref=balaustine.mymagic.page) (and even delivered an exciting [preliminary result](http://gaplogs.net/2015/12/16/hopes-for-a-new-particle-at-the-lhc-offset-by-call-for-more-data/?ref=balaustine.mymagic.page))
- *Nature Methods* declared cryo-electron microscopy to be its '[method of the year](http://press.nature.com/wp-content/uploads/files/2015/12/PR-nmeth.3700-web.pdf?ref=balaustine.mymagic.page)' (paywall)
- BARC's MACE gamma-ray telescope [was installed](http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/MACE-telescope-ready-to-be-shifted-to-Hanle-Ladakh-from-Hyderabad/articleshow/37126715.cms?ref=balaustine.mymagic.page) in Hanle, Ladakh
- SESAME in Jordan got [one-step closer](http://phys.org/news/2015-04-sesame-important-milestone-cern.html?ref=balaustine.mymagic.page) to completion
- On the downside, the TMT [might not come to be](http://www.livemint.com/Politics/RhMvdawNOXGlzygFf1KT6K/Crews-remove-equipment-from-Thirty-Meter-Telescope-site-in-H.html?ref=balaustine.mymagic.page)
