Dec 17, 2004 · Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695) discovered Saturn's satellite Titan. He was also the first to clearly see the planet's rings and to explain their appearance over time. Huygens made other significant contributions to astronomy as well. The Huygens probe, carried to Titan by Cassini, is named in his honor.
Jun 8, 2012 · Christiaan Huygens was a Dutch scientist born in 1629. He proposed Saturn was a ringed planet, and was the first to propose a theory of light's nature. (Image credit: Portrait by Bernard Vailant)
Christiaan Huygens, or Christian Huyghens, (born April 14, 1629, The Hague—died July 8, 1695, The Hague), Dutch mathematician, astronomer, and physicist. He was the first to use a pendulum to regulate a clock (1656). He invented a method of grinding and polishing telescope lenses, and he used his telescopes to discover the true shape of ...
Christiaan Huygens (n.14 aprilie 1629 – d. 8 iulie 1695) a fost un matematician, astronom și fizician neerlandez.S-a născut în Haga, fiind fiul lui Constantijn Huygens.A studiat dreptul și matematica la Universitatea din Leiden și la College van Oranje din Breda, iar apoi interesul i s-a orientat către științe.

Christiaan Huygens ( [ˈhœyɣəns] IPA ( výslovnost) 14. dubna 1629, Haag – 8. července 1695, Haag) byl význačný nizozemský fyzik, matematik, astronom, horolog a autor rané science fiction. K jeho zásluhám patří teleskopická pozorování vesmíru, díky nimž vysvětlil povahu prstenců kolem Saturnu a objevil jeho měsíc Titan ...
May 23, 2018 · Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695) was born in the Hague, Netherlands. He is remembered for his work in optics, astronomy, and timekeeping. Huygens developed lens-shaping techniques better than those of Italian mathematician and astronomer Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) and greatly improved the telescope.
Christiaan Huygens was a mathematician, physicist and astronomer who formulated the wave theory of light. He also discovered the pendulum clock, centrifugal force and the true shape of the rings of Saturn (as well as its moon, Titan). Huygens is credited as the first theoretical physicist to use formulae in physics. Advertisements.
