Milutin Milanković (1879–1958) was a Serbian mathematician, astronomer, and geophysicist, best known for his work in the fields of climate science and astronomy. He is particularly recognized for developing the Milankovitch cycle theory, which explains how variations in Earth’s orbital parameters—such as axial tilt, eccentricity, and precession—affect the Earth’s climate over geological time scales.
