Note: I combined this with the True story of James Glaisher in this article but I have the article separately in the following article above this one.

My wife and I are presently watching this. It was headlined when we were checking Amazon Prime for Streaming. It was first released in the U.S. in some theaters on December 6th 2019 and in Great Britain in November 2019 sometime. It looks like a lot of fun. So, we'll see. Actually, this was a very enjoyable and exciting movie. And in real life James Glaisher was a real person who actually did this and who was a scientist and meteorologist.

The Aeronauts follows the adventures of James Glaisher, a scientist, and Amelia Wren, a flamboyant aeronaut who lost her husband in a balloon accident. The pair, fighting against thunderstorms, wind, hailstones and rain as they ascend higher and higher, achieve something phenomenal: they travel to heights no man or woman has ever reached before. “I hope the audience takes away a sense of wonder and a feeling of the amazing things that humans can achieve through science and through exploration when we put our minds to it and work together,” Harper tells TIME. In order to convey that sense of wonder, Harper and co-writer Jack Throne drew on several real figures from history, and also took some creative license with their stories.

The movie will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video beginning on Dec. 20. Here is everything you need to know about what’s fact and what’s fiction in The Aeronauts. ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads Who was James Glaisher? In The Aeronauts, meteorologist James Glaisher (Redmayne) presents his theories of how a gas balloon expedition could be key to predicting the weather—a science still in its infancy in the 1860s—and asks for funding for the expedition. His peers respond emphatically: “We are scientists, not fortune tellers.” But Glaisher doesn’t give in. He eventually convinces Amelia Wren (Jones) to pilot the balloon he needs to take him on his expedition. In real life, Glaisher was indeed an influential scientist—he made 28 ascents between 1862 and 1866, recording observations that were crucial to our understanding of weather. Among his discoveries were the fact that wind changes speed at different altitudes, and the way raindrops form and gather moisture. Science has, of course, advanced significantly since Glaisher’s time. The kinds of scientific measurements he performed using thermometers, barometers and hygrometers are now made in unmanned meteorological balloons. Did James Glaisher and Amelia Wren really go on an expedition? The Aeronauts follows the balloon expedition of Glaisher, whose life goal is to travel into the sky to predict the weather, and Wren, a character Harper describes as a “distinctive firecracker of a woman.” In the movie, the pair breaks the world record for altitude after reaching a height of 36,000 feet. Glaisher did in fact exist, and he did break the record for traveling higher than any person, but he did so with fellow scientist Henry Tracy Coxwell rather than the fictional character of Amelia Wren. On Sept. 5, 1862, the two men, equipped with pigeons (as in the film), a compass and thermometers, took to the skies and broke the world record for the highest any human had been in a balloon.
