Top 11 Photos That Were Historical Firsts

4. First Photo of the Sun

The first picture of the sun was taken back in 1845, by French physicists Louis Fizeau and Lion Foucault, using the same process as the journalist who took the first news photo, daguerreotype.

Back then, photography techniques were just at the beginning of their development. However, the picture is pretty detailed for its time. There’s a clear contrast between the background and the sun and we can even see some sun spots.
