Almost 150 years ago, Kristian Birkeland glimpsed the beauty of the aurora Oslo, and age 18 had already written his first scientific article. Scientists have also discovered that these strong electric fields drive supersonic plasma jets. Postulated more than a century ago Norwegian scientist Kristian Birkeland. Currents' were confirmed direct measurements in space. Said, "The electric field instrument is the first ionospheric imager in A study of the evolution of Kristian Birkeland's theories of cosmical physics is pre- Even though modern space science continues to rediscover the deep The first series of terrella experiments were performed in glass tubes Kristian Olaf Bernhard Birkeland (13 December 1867 15 June 1917) was a Norwegian scientist who has been called the first space scientist and the father of plasma experiments in the laboratory and space.

Hoping to demonstrate what we now call the solar wind, Birkeland moved to Egypt in 1913. Isolated from his friends the Great War, Birkeland yearned to celebrate his 50 th birthday Kristian Birkeland: The first space scientist. Alv Egeland. Department of Physics, University of Oslo, P.O. Box 1048 Lindern, 0316 Oslo, The government of Norway honored him as the world's first space physicist. His portrait, along with his terrella experiment and some original drawings, appears on the 200 kroner banknote, first issued in 1994. Birkeland was the first and only Norwegian scientist to be honored the government on a banknote. At the beginning of the 20th century, Kristian Birkeland (1867-1917), a Norwegian scientist of insatiable curiosity, addressed questions that had vexed European scientists for centuries. Why do the northern lights appear overhead when the earth s magnetic field is disturbed? Kristian Olaf Bernhard Birkeland (December 13, 1867 to June 15, 1917) was a Norwegian scientist. He was the first to explain the phenomenon of the Aurora borealis. He invented the electromagnetic cannon and the Birkeland-Eyde process of fixing nitrogen from the air. Birkeland was nominated for the Nobel Prize seven times. After Kristian Birkeland first suggested in 1908 that "currents there [in the aurora] are imagined as having come into existence mainly as a secondary effect of the electric corpuscles from the sun drawn in out of space," the story appears to have become mired in politics. Birkeland's ideas were generally ignored in favor of an alternative theory from British mathematician Sydney Chapman. Review Laboratory Astrophysics (Astrophysics and Space Science [PDF] Kristian Birkeland: The First Space Birkeland's terrella experiments were ingenious. Even though the famous Lord Kelvin, in 1892, wrote that no matter passes between the Sun and the Earth, Birkeland's first auroral theory from 1896 is based on charged particle of solar origin, illustrated the following quotation: "the auroras are formed corpuscular rays drawn in from space, and coming from the sun". Even though modern space science continues to rediscover the deep truth of many of Birkeland's ideas, an even more interesting aspect of his work may be his interdisciplinary approach to scien- tific exploration. Birkeland aqcuired and processed information from a number of research disciplines anniversary of the birth of Kristian 1 Kristian Birkeland, taken Carl Størmer space. This one fact justifies Birkeland being called the first space scientist. In the closing months of 1899, when Kristian Birkeland, a physicist working his first expedition to the Arctic coast of Norway to gather scientific data, the and space probes that Birkeland's theories began to be proven right.

He is best remembered as the person whose theories of atmospheric electric currents elucidated the nature of the Aurora borealis. In order to fund his research on the aurorae, he invented the electromagnetic cannon and the Birkeland-Eyde process of Birkeland s ideas were dismissed for decades, only to be vindicated when satellites could fly above the Earth s atmosphere. Faced with the depleting stocks of Chilean saltpeter and the consequent prospect of mass starvation, Birkeland showed his practical side, inventing the first industrial scale method to extract nitrogen-based Widely regarded as the leading scientist and inventor in Norwegian history, Kristian Birkeland s legacy still stands strong, 150 years after his birth and 100 years after his death.
