400 years ago #OTD the astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini a.k.a. #Cassini I (because they would become an astro-dynasty) was born: while https://thonyc.wordpress.com/2010/06/08/the-real-founder-of-telescopic-astronomy/ called him the "real founder of telescopic astronomy" according to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Domenico_Cassini his *interpretations* of the Universe were pretty backwards, compared even to the telescopic pioneers Galilei et al. or celestial mechanic extraordinaire Kepler 50 years before him. Anyway, he designed the huge #meridiana of Bologna: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Petronio,_Bologna
