This one is actually not all that hard to get.
Build several research buildings & staff them. (and do anything else to boost your research per Sol - exploration rovers, some events boost sponsor research, outsourcing as much as you can afford, some mods help out, etc)
Then, have multiple sectors being scanned (remember you can queue up to 9 at once) while having a rover or two research new anomalies that show up (the Rover Command AI research helps a lot since it unlocks their auto-explore mode).
Make Breakthrough research a top priority, and then wait.
Event-specific breakthroughs (such as the one for the cancer cure event) count for this achievement as well, and since they tend to be cheaper than normal ones it's good to research those first.
