EDITORS COMMENTS
On August 18, 1932, Professor Picard of Brussels University made history by ascending to an unprecedented height of approximately 10 miles in a hydrogen-filled balloon, surpassing the previous record set by Jean Piccard in 1931. The photograph captures the aftermath of this groundbreaking achievement, with Professor Picard and Dr. Max Cosyns lying full length in the shade of their gondola. The extreme change in temperature from the freezing cold at high altitudes to the sweltering heat upon descent had left them overcome. Their daring experiment, which aimed to study cosmic rays and the upper atmosphere, pushed the boundaries of human endurance and scientific knowledge. The successful ascent and safe landing marked a significant milestone in the field of aviation and space exploration. Professor Piccard and Dr. Cosyns, both renowned scientists, worked tirelessly to prepare for this moment. Their determination and courage paid off, as they became the first humans to reach such heights and return to tell the tale. The photograph serves as a testament to their remarkable feat and the spirit of scientific inquiry that drives human progress.
