Colloque 400e anniversaire de la naissance de Jean-Dominique Cassini
–
Paris,
FranceThe work of Jean-Dominique Cassini (1625-1712) in the field of astronomical science took place at a time marked by the development of instruments, new methods of observation, new theories and the emergence of scientific institutions. From his first publications in the 1660s and throughout his years at the Paris Observatory, J. D. Cassini was a key figure in these developments. This symposium takes the opportunity of the 400th anniversary of the astronomer's birth to take stock of current research into this major contribution.
