James Glaisher (April 7, 1809 - February 7,1903) was an English meteorologist, aeronaut and astronomer. In 1837 he became Superintendent of the Department of Meteorology and Magnetism at Royal Observatory, Greenwich. He is best remembered as a pioneering balloonist. His ascent on September 5, 1862 broke the world record for altitude, but he passed out around 8,800 meters before a reading could be taken. Travels In the Air, 1871.
