Giovanni [a] Domenico Cassini, also known as Jean-Dominique Cassini (8 June 1625 – 14 September 1712) was an Italian (naturalised French) [1] mathematician, astronomer, astrologer and engineer. Cassini was born in Perinaldo , [ 2 ] [ 3 ] near Imperia , at that time in the County of Nice , part of the Savoyard state .
Cassini was born at the Paris Observatory.He was first admitted to Collège Mazarin after brief studies at his home observatory under his father. [1] Later, he was admitted at the age of seventeen to membership of the French Academy of Sciences, he was elected in 1696 a fellow of the Royal Society of London, and became maître des comptes in 1706.
Cassini family: Giovanni Domenico Cassini (1625–1712), Italian mathematician, astronomer, engineer, and astrologer Jacques Cassini (1677–1756), French astronomer, son of Giovanni Domenico Cassini
Astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini first observed what he called the “Permanent Spot” on Jupiter in 1665. New research suggests that the Great Red Spot formed about 190 years ago, which ...
George Gerbner first published his model in his 1956 paper Toward a General Model of Communication. [129] [130] It is a linear transmission model. It is based on the Shannon–Weaver model and Lasswell's model but expands them in various ways. [131] [130] [132] It aims to provide a general account of all forms of communication.
Giovanni Domenico Cassini (1625–1712), mathematician, astronomer and engineer who was the first to observe four of Saturn's moons and the co-discoverer of the Great Red Spot on Jupiter; Bonaventura Cavalieri (1598–1647), mathematician, invented the method of indivisibles (1635) that foreshadowed integral calculus
Based on ephemerides produced by astronomer Giovanni Cassini and others, Pierre-Simon Laplace created a mathematical theory to explain the resonant orbits of three of Jupiter's moons, Io, Europa, and Ganymede. [1] This resonance was later found to have a profound effect on the geologies of these moons.
Cassini state 1 is defined as the situation in which both the spin axis and the orbit normal axis are on the same side of the normal to the Laplace plane. Cassini state 2 is defined as the case in which the spin axis and the orbit normal axis are on opposite sides of the normal to the Laplace plane. [6] Earth's Moon is in Cassini state 2.
