Sobral Eclipse Celebration on cover from Brazil

This year marks the centennial anniversary of the solar eclipse observed on 29th May 1919, which has constituted an extraordinary event for science. The measure of the starlight deflection by the Sun confirmed Einstein´s General Relativity Theory that deeply changed our conception of the Universe.  Decisive observations were done in Sobral (Ceará, Brazil), and also on Principe Island, by British astronomers. The results were publicly disclosed in London on November 6, 1919. After that day newspapers around the world reported headlines announcing a revolution in science: Einstein`s theory had supplanted Newton`s gravitational theory. To mark this occasion, Brazilian post issued this stamp on 29.5.2019.


Thank you, Helio!

Nikola Tesla on cover from Brazil!

I received Nikola Tesla on cover from Brazil! Nikola Tesla  was a Serbian inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Born and raised in the Austrian Empire, Tesla received an advanced education in engineering and physics in the 1870s and gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. He immigrated to the United States in 1884, and was naturalized as American citizen in 1891.

Tesla obtained around 300 patents worldwide for his inventions.Some of Tesla's patents are not accounted for, and various sources have discovered some that have lain hidden in patent archives. There are a minimum of 278 known patents issued to Tesla in 26 countries. Many of Tesla's patents were in the United States, Britain, and Canada, but many other patents were approved in countries around the globe. Many inventions developed by Tesla were not put into patent protection.


Thank you very much Sidney!
