  Biografia di G.D. Cassini
Cassini reported his first results in the 1656 Specimen observationum Bononiensum … in D. Petronij templo, dedicated to the Queen Christine of Sweden, announcing that the motion of the Sun was “really” not uniform during the year (according to the Second Kepler’s Law) and not “apparently” as Ptolemaic-Aristotelian and Tychonic systems of the World required.
Cassini continued to be particularly interested in comet studies and he was able to foresee the path of two new comets, appeared on 1664 and on 1665, which he observed with Christine of Sweden, so opening the way to Halley’s works on comet orbits.
The Cassini's dynasty ends with Cassini's IV son, Alexandre, jurist and botanist, who had been removed from the direction of the Observatoire, was arrested and imprisoned during the French revolution.

 Benjamin Vaughan on the Washington Meridian, 1811
Pene, [Jean Dominique] Cassini, and others in their great Neptune Français [1693], continued to obey its injunctions at the close of the seventeenth century, as did M [Jean-Baptiste] d'Anville (the King's geographer) even in his separate map of France, divided into provinces and generalities which was published so late as 1780.
M Cassini had an opportunity of trying this experiment afterwards in the south of France in the winter of 1739-1740, with a little variation, for the observers were stationed on 2 heights, while the pounds of powder were fired from the top of a church in a valley below.
M de la Condamine and his colleagues had no opportunity to make experiments at the equator as to longitudes, since they were released, while there, from the last part of their commission which related to that object.

 Cassini_Dominique biography
Dominique Cassini was the son of César-François Cassini de Thury, the grandson of Jacques Cassini and the great-grandson of Giovanni Domenico Cassini.
In 1771 Cassini's father, Cassini de Thury, was made Director of the Paris Observatory by the King with the conditions that succession would be preserved for the Cassini family.
Cassini had Méchain as his assistant but he took control and made the measurements with the repeating circle while Méchain was given the task of checking the results with older equipment.

Cassini is equipped with a variety of instruments to both sample the haze and reveal the surface beneath it, and observations of Titan were a primary goal of the mission.

At this time the Académie des Sciences was setting up its project to accurately measure the meridian from Dunkerque to Barcelona in order to obtain an accurate value for the metre which was to be defined as one ten millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator.
Cassini de Thury had surveyed almost exactly this in 1740, it was the invention of the

Giovanni Domenico Cassini was born on the 8th June 1625 in Perinaldo, at that time in the County of Nice.

Although the first lady and Cassini discussed ideas together, he maintained a distance from the mechanics of producing her clothes, cherishing instead his position as a family friend.

One of the most significant was by observation from Paris by Cassini of Mars.
Using the observed parallax of Mars against the background sky, he calculated that a value should be less than 10 arcsec, and assumed in his calculations the value of 9.5 arcsec.
This is close to the modern values, but looking at Cassini’s data the error in an specific value was really about 50%.

[See Borda's biography for a description of the repeating circle.] Cassini had Méchain as his assistant but he took control and made the measurements with the repeating circle while Méchain was given the task of checking the results with older equipment.
Cassini was very impressed with the accuracy of the Borda repeating circle writing (see [2]):-
Although Cassini de Thury had surveyed almost exactly this in 1740, it was the invention of the Borda repeating circle which made the Academy confident that a new much more accurate measurement could be achieved.

The authors achieved good results in 13 patients (92.8%) and conclude that it is possible to improve the results with a more resistant tendon suture and early active motion.
