That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Galileo Galilei". Galileo Galilei was the first scientist to provide a detailed description of auroras in the early 17th century. He referred to them as "aurora" after the Roman goddess of dawn. His observations contributed to the understanding of these natural light displays caused by the interaction of solar particles with Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere.
