Kristian Birkeland (1867–1917) was a Norwegian scientist and explorer known for his significant contributions to the understanding of the Earth's magnetosphere and the auroras. He is best known for his pioneering theories on the causes of the auroras, which he proposed were related to solar particles interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. Birkeland conducted extensive research and experiments, including launching sounding rockets to study the upper atmosphere.
