Oton Kučera
Oton Kučera (1 January 1857, Petrinja – 29 December 1931, Zagreb) was a Croatian astronomer. He played a crucial role by popularizing science and technology in Croatia. He was also the president of Matica hrvatska and the author of several physics handbooks for primary school and a series of popular scientific works from the areas of physics, astronomy and electrical engineering.
