	Anders Jonas Angstrom - LoveToKnow 1911
		ANDERS JONAS ANGSTROM (1814-1874), Swedish physicist, was born on the 13th of August 1814 at LOgdO, Medelpad, Sweden.
		He was the first, in 1867, to examine the spectrum of the aurora borealis, and detected and measured the characteristic bright line in its yellow green region; but he was mistaken in supposing that this same line, which is often called by his name, is also to be seen in the zodiacal light.
		His son, Knut Johan Angstrom, was born at Upsala on the 12th of January 1857, and studied at the university of that town from 1877 to 1884.

	Anders Jonas Ångström
		Anders Jonas Ångström (August 13, 1814 - June 21, 1874) was a physicist in Sweden, one of the founders of the science of spectroscopy.
		He was the first, in 1867, to examine the spectrum of the aurora borealis, and detected and measured the characteristic bright line in its yellow green region.
		The angstrom units with which the wavelength of light is measured are named for him.

		The Angstrom Foundation AB exists in some form, possibly even as a legally registered foundation in Sweden, but it is obscure and certainly not "prestigious." A Nobelstiftelsen or Knut och Alice Wallenbergs Stiftelse it is not.
		The Angstrom Foundation AB's use of the Ångström memorial medal of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences as a component of the 1993 Ångström Medal award to Richard C. Hoagland was an unauthorized use of the academy's medal.
		He was the recipient of the Angstrom Medal for Excellence in Science in Stockholm, Sweden, a colleague of Carl Sagan, and a former science adviser to CBS News and Walter Cronkite.

	Richard C. Hoagland and Europa: Background Information.
		Angstrom doesn't refer to Hoagland by name, I believe that it is clear who he is thinking of in that strongly-worded statement.
		Angstrom informed me in 1998 that Hoagland's "old hypothesis of water existing on Europa" was a factor in his decision to give Hoagland the Angstrom Medal, I replied by informing Mr.
		Angstrom that that hypothesis was not due to Hoagland, and was, in fact, the subject of a number of scientific papers throughout the 1970s and offered to send him more details.

	Angstrom Unit
		An angstrom is a unit of length used to measure small things such as the wavelengths of light, atoms and molecules.
		Since a typical atom is about 1 angstroms across, we use atoms as units of measurement in this History of the Universe instead of angstroms.
		When we say something is so many atoms across, what we really mean is so many angstroms across.

	RTT Hot Topic, September 2005
		This optical wavelength business was all a bit curious and still is. Anders Jonas Angstrom (1814-1874) decided quite sensibly that light should be measured in wavelengths and that given that the radiant energy was coming from the sun, then it would be a good idea to relate the measurements to a hydrogen atom.
		Thus an Angstrom was defined as being equivalent to the diameter of a hydrogen atom and equivalent to one tenth on a nanometer.
		Anyway, Anders Jonas Angstrom's work was carried on by his son Knut and formed a body of work that remains directly relevant today to the science of optical measurement.
