[Norway] Introducing Norwegian physicist Birkeland.

Kristian Birkeland was born on December 13, 1867 in Oslo, Norway. Kristian Birkeland conducted research on the internal structure of the sun and sunspots, and experiments on aurorae. In the end, Kristian Birkeland discovered the secret of aurorae and the Earth's magnetic field. Kristian Birkeland speculated that when aurorae occur, a strong current flows along the magnetic field lines, and this current is called the Birkeland current. It is said that he committed suicide in Tokyo, Japan on June 15, 1917.
