 | | Pieter Zeeman was born on May 25, 1865, at Zonnemaire, a small village in the isle of Schouwen, Zeeland, The Netherlands, as the son of the local clergymen Catharinus Forandinus Zeeman and his wife, n?e Wilhelmina Worst. |
 | | Zeeman entered Leaden University in 1885 and became mainly a pupil of Kamerlingh Onnes (mechanics) and Lorentz (experimental physics): the latter was later to share the Nobel Prize with him. |
 | | Zeeman's talent for natural science first became apparent in 1883, when, while still attending the secondary school, he gave an apt description and drawing of an aurora borealis - then clearly to be observed in his country - which was published in Nature. |
