Scientific paper

On March 6, 1656, nearly forty years after Galileo discovered a strange object around Saturn and remained enigmatic until this time, a young unknown dutch of the name of Christiaan Huygens published a surprising article entitled "De Saturni luna observatio nova” in which he makes share to the erudite world of the first discovered satellite around Saturn. It finishes this article of only three pages by a logogriph which announces another discovery of which he hopes to be the first author while launching a call to all the astronomers of Europe. This second discovery much more resounding than the first ensured a world fame thereafter to him. We return here on this famous discovery: the identification of the Saturn's rings by the phyical explanation of its changing appearance. 350 years later, the physical assumptions of Huygens are used to understand ring's geometry.
