The French astronomer Jean PICARD (1620 1682) was certainly one of the leading scientists of his time. Friend of Huygens, of Hevelius, of Oldenburg, master of Römer, indefatigable traveller, he played a very important part in the development of positional astronomy and geodesy.
- He first, had the idea of comparing the length units to a reproductible physical quantity, namely the length of the one second pendulum at Paris, and measured that length.
