Description: (American Physicist, Radio Engineer and One of the Founding Figures of 'Radio Astronomy')
Karl Guthe Jansky, an American physicist and radio engineer, made a significant discovery in 1933 by detecting radio waves from the Milky Way. This breakthrough observation in the constellation Sagittarius played a crucial role in the development of radio astronomy, establishing Jansky as a prominent figure in the field's early days. His work laid the foundation for studying celestial radio sources and deepened our understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum in the universe. Jansky's research remains a source of inspiration for ongoing advancements in astronomy and astrophysics.
