EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Joseph von Fraunhofer's groundbreaking discovery of the solar spectrum in 1814. The image features Fraunhofer's meticulous drawing of the lines that make up the solar spectrum, accompanied by a curve representing the intensity of sunlight across different parts of this spectrum. Fraunhofer, a German physicist and astronomer, made significant contributions to our understanding of light and optics during the 19th century. His precise observations led to the identification of dark lines within the solar spectrum, now known as Fraunhofer lines or absorption lines. These lines serve as fingerprints for various chemical elements present in the Sun's atmosphere. The print not only highlights Fraunhofer's scientific achievement but also reflects Germany's rich history in scientific exploration. It serves as a testament to his pioneering work in solar astronomy and his profound impact on physics. With its monochrome aesthetic, this engraving exudes an air of elegance while capturing an important moment in scientific history. Preserved by Oxford Science Archive, this print offers us a glimpse into how early scientists unraveled mysteries about our own star -the Sun- through careful observation and analysis.
