A Titan sub imploded in June, with all passengers onboard killed. The sub malfunctioned during its dive to see the Titanic. News the vessel had gone missing led to a four-day search to save those on board but all five passengers died.

Aliens for real

Aliens have been on the news quite a bit this year. Nasa chief Bill Nelson said although there’s no evidence of extraterrestrial origins, he believes aliens do exist and scientists developed a test that can confirm alien life with 90% accuracy. In addition, Harvard University astrophysicist Dr Avi Loeb said he believed he has found proof of alien life at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

The moon would be in the news

An Indian spacecraft called Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the moon in a historic moment in August.

The year of AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been at the forefront of the news this year for many different reasons. The AI industry went mainstream, as Google and Microsoft went head-to-head with their competing chat bots.The Collins Dictionary has named AI as its word of the year after it has made waves across all industries. The use of AI boomed as programmes such as ChatGPT have made the tool more accessible for everyday work. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak even said AI could lead to human extinction. Many employees reportedly fear their jobs are at risk because of the rise of AI, but when social media site Snapchat introduced their My AI feature users didn't like it and wanted to get rid of it.

House prices

The rate at which house prices increase would slow in 2023, but they will still go up. This could be true, depending on the area of the country you live in. While house prices across the UK have broadly seen a decrease, there are some areas which have bucked the trend and seen property prices increase

Old Moore said that there would be an asteroid that will be “too close to comfort”. In July, a large asteroid flew close to Earth - and was only spotted by astronomers a few days later.
