		Richer's astronomical observations of a lunar eclipse and the satellites of Jupiter led to the determination of the longitude of Cayenne which was three minutes too big.
		In geodesy Richer's observation of the length of the seconds pendulum improved the understanding of the shape of the earth as a spheroid flattened at the poles.
		Richer was admitted to the Académie in 1666 as an élève astronome.

		Richer had made many important observations on the voyage and the problem with Huygens's clocks was certainly not his fault.
		Richer's second important work was to examine the periods of pendulums at different points on the Earth.
		Newton and Huygens used Richer's gravity data to show that the Earth is an oblate sphere.

	CAME TO ACADIA TO FIND ITS LONGITUDE WENT TO SOUTH AMERICA AND DISCOVERED THAT THE WORLD IS FLAT
		This was Jean Richer, a French astronomer, born in 1630.
		Jean Richer was to be involved in finding the different co-ordinates of the earth, that is the latitudes and the longitudes.
		Jean Richer was to be the first one to make use of this new invention to calculate the longitude, especially in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and in Acadia.

	Jean Richer - The Great Unknown, The Great Explorers
		Richer was an astronomer who is famed for two pieces of work.
		In 1871 Richer was sent on an expedition to Cayenne, French Guyana by the Frence Government.
		From this Richer deduced that gravity was weaker at Cayenne, so it was further from the centre of the Earth than was Paris.

	JS Online: Getting smart with the judge doesn't pay
		It was then that Richer sent a note to the judge that appeared to suggest the juror had not been forthright during jury selection.
		Specifically, Richer - who couldn't be reached for comment - failed to reveal that she had had a bad experience with police that could taint her view of testimony during the trial.
		Angry that Richer repeatedly interrupted her, Schellinger said she firmly demanded that the juror shut up while the judge was speaking.

	JS Online: Strangers come to aid of juror who upset judge
		Jean Richer found herself in that exact situation, and within a few days, a group of strangers coughed up $500 to cover the contempt fine that Schellinger had slapped on Richer, who had the misfortune of showing up for jury duty in Schellinger's court.
		Unlike Richer, Schellinger, who's quickly gaining a reputation for offbeat judicial antics, said she's not surprised at all that a bunch of her enemies were so willing to part with a dollar to help out the former juror.
		Richer's troubles began Oct. 11 when she was sitting on a jury that was deliberating on a case involving a couple of felony gun charges after a three-day trial.

		Richer had discovered, in an intuitive flash whilst in the dream-state, that these sanctuaries were all in direct alignment with one another.
		Richer spent many years exploring the significance of his discovery and eventually detailed his years of work in his book, Sacred Geography of the Ancient Greeks.
		This new dimension to Jean Richer’s original discovery has considerable implications for the study of ancient science and the knowledge that originally determined the precise location of such significant sites, so closely linked to the changing patterns of religion and spirituality through the ages.

	Sacred Geography of the Ancient Greeks: Astrological Symbolism in Art, Architecture, and Landscape by Jean Richer
		Traveling to Delphi in the late 1950s, Jean Richer, professor of literature with a special interest in symbolism, wondered about the connection between Delphi, site of Apollo's main sanctuary and oracle, and Delos, the god's traditional birthplace, as well as Delphi's relationship with Athena, so prominently represented at the sanctuary.
		Richer points out that "the Greater and Lesser Mysteries took place on the solstitial axis of Attica, while their dates were those of the equinoxes.
		Richer makes a detailed analysis of the places and incidents in Heracles' journeys which discloses many astrological/mystical significances.

		Jean Richer observed that a pendulum clock at the French equatorial colony of Cayenne ran slower than the same clock did at Paris.
		Richer realized that, if the Earth were rotating, a centripetal acceleration would partially offset the gravitational acceleration.
		In 1851, Jean Foucault demonstrated directly that the Earth rotated, by using a pendulum with a frictionless pivot.

	"A Key to Ancient Greece" by Sarah Belle Dougherty
		Over several years Richer continued finding alignments by drawing lines on the map which formed geometric figures, many of which obviously represented projections or correspondences on earth of celestial objects and directions.
		Plato says the city-state should be located in the center of the territory and be divided into twelve parts radiating from a central sanctuary, each section consecrated to one of the twelve great gods.
		Considering precessional correspondences, Richer believes a system of coordinates based on the four seasons and four cardinal points was introduced into Greece between 2000 and 1900 bc, along with an arrangement of latitudinal lines corresponding to the sacred planets (Map 2 indicates these features).

		This analysis holds that the beasts in our myths must be destroyed and the distressed damsels rescued by less interesting, but decidedly safer and more attractive, princes so that the two Super-egos can live happily ever after in a delusional fantasy that has nothing to do with the cold hard truths of human existence.
		Jean Cocteau’s rendering of Beauty and the Beast ultimately draws upon the ancient Latin tale of The Golden Ass in which a young man’s fascination with sex and magic result in his physical transformation into a donkey (as does Pinnochio’s fascination with worldly pleasures).
		Cocteau was a famous poet and visual artist, but at 56, this was his first mainstream film and much was anticipated of it, including the restoration of an annihilated French film industry.

	Cassini, Giovanni Domenico (1625-1712)
		An Italian-born French-naturalized astronomer (known also by his Gallicized name, Jean Dominique) who discovered four of Saturn’s moons — Iapetus (1671), Rhea (1672), Tethys, and Dione (both 1684) — and the major division in its rings (1675), now known after him.
		Cassini became Professor of Astronomy at Bologna (1650) and later the first director of the Paris Observatory (1669), found the rotational periods of Mars and Jupiter, one of the polar caps of Mars (1666), and the distance to Mars (1672) by triangulation with the help of observations by Jean Richer.
		Cassini’s son, Jacques (1677-1756), grandson Cesar Francois (1714-1784), and great-grandson Jean Dominique IV (1748-1845) all became successful astronomers, the first two succeeding the elder Cassini as director of the Paris Observatory.

	Cassini
		In 1672 Jean Richer made measurements of Mars from Cayenne, French Guyana, while Jean Picard and Cassini made measurements in Paris.
		From their data the first accurate value of the solar parallax was found, giving the distance from the Earth to the sun.
		Another measurement made by Jean Richer, namely that a pendulum with a period of one second is shorter in Cayenne than Paris, led him to explain this by suggesting that the Earth was flattened at the poles.
