Basisbegrippen Christiaan Huygens werd op 14 april 1629 in Den Haag geboren, als tweede zoon van de de beroemde dichter/staatsman Constantijn Huygens. Hij groeide op in een vooraanstaand milieu en kreeg les van privé-leraren. Hij was in alles een uitblinker, zodat hij op negenjarige leeftijd al Latijn sprak. Hij had ook aanleg voor wiskunde en mechanica. Hij verdiepte zich niet alleen in de theorie, maar voerde de mechanische constructies ook zelf in de praktijk uit, aanvankelijk thuis. In 1645 gaat hij in Leiden rechten en vooral wiskunde studeren. In 1657 verschijnt het werk "Van rekeningh in spelen van geluck" over de kansberekening, waarin Huygens bewijst dat uitkomsten van kansspelen weliswaar onzeker zijn, maar de kans op winst of verlies exact te bepalen is. In het voorjaar van 1695 werd hij ziek. Hij was nooit getrouwd geweest. Op 8 juli 1695 stierf hij op 66-jarige leeftijd in Den Haag.

He improved telescopic lenses and discovered (1655) a satellite of Saturn and studied the rings of Saturn. His findings were described in his Systema Saturnium (1659). He was the first to use the pendulum in clocks. He developed a wave theory of light opposed to the corpuscular theory of Newton and formulated Huygens's principle, which holds that, concerning light waves, every point on a wave front is itself a source of new waves. In 1678 he discovered the polarization of light by double refraction in calcite. His chief work is Horologium oscillatorium See his On a Research Program in Early Modern Physics The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia

Huygens also studied centrifugal force and showed, in 1659, its similarity to gravitational force, although he lacked the Newtonian concept of acceleration. He considered projectiles and gravity, developing the mathematically primitive ideas of Galileo . He found an accurate experimental value for the distance covered by a falling body in one second. In fact, his gravitational theories successfully deal with several difficult points that Newton carefully avoided. In the 1670s, Huygens studied motion in resisting media, becoming convinced by experiment that the resistance in such media as air is proportional to the square of the velocity. The pendulum clock In 1657, Huygens developed a clock regulated by a pendulum, an idea that he published and patented. By 1658, major towns in Holland had pendulum tower clocks. Huygens worked at the theory first of the simple pendulum and then of harmonically oscillating systems throughout the rest of his life, publishing the

Christiaan Huygens (April 14, 1629 - June 8, 1695) Born in The Hague in 1629, Christiaan Huygens was a famous Dutchman for his development of advanced pendulum clocks (1659). He also invented an improved type of 2-lense eyepieces (1703), now named after him, and constructed very long air telescopes of up to 250 feet focal length. With these, he made important discoveries such as Jupiter's equatorial bulge, the polar caps of and a dark surface feature, later named Syrtis Major, on Mars. He discovered Saturn's satellite Titan (March 25, 1655) and was the first to clearly see its rings and to explain their appearance over time (1655-59). In 1656 he independently discovered the Orion Nebula M42 and made detailed studies and sketches of this object, including the discovery of three stars of the Trapezium cluster. He visited London in 1665 and was made a member of the Royal Society. On invitation of the French King Louis XIV, he came to Paris in 1666 and became a founding member of the Academie Royale des Sciences (Royal Academy of Sciences) where he worked with G.D. Cassini

CHRISTIAAN HUYGENS HUYGENS, CHRISTIAAN His reputation now became cosmopolitan. As early as 1655 the university of Angers had distinguished him with an honorary degree of doctor of laws. In 1663, on the occasion of his second visit to England, he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society, and imparted to that body in January 1669 a clear and concise statement of the laws governing the collision of elastic bodies. Although these conclusions were arrived at independently, and, as it would seem, several years previous to their publication, they were in great measure anticipated by the communications on the same subject of John Wallis and Christopher Wren, made respectively in November and December 1668. Huygens never married. He died at the Hague on the 8th of June 1695, bequeathing his manuscripts to the university of Leiden, and his considerable property to the sons of his younger brother. In character he was as estimable as he was brilliant in intellect. Although, like most men of strong originative power, he assimilated with difficulty the ideas of others, his tardiness sprang rather from inability to depart from the track of his own methods than from reluctance to acknowledge the merits of his competitors.

The Encyclopedia of Astrobiology, Astronomy, and Spaceflight FRONT PAGE NEWS ARCHIVE NEWSLETTER ... Z this site WWW Huygens, Christiaan (1629-95) Dutch physicist and astronomer who discovered Titan , in 1655, and determined that Saturn has rings. He also figured in one of the great unsung moments in planetary exploration when at 7 p.m. on November 28, 1659, he sketched a feature - a dark triangular patch - on the surface of Mars which he had just seen through his modest telescope. Eventually, it came to be known as Syrtis Major , the "Great Marsh", and for many years was presumed to be some kind of watery body. The significance of its sighting lay in the fact that, whereas the large bright and dark areas on the Moon had been visible for all to see from prehistoric times and Galileo had telescopically discovered the Great Red Spot on Jupiter (an atmospheric feature), Syrtis Major was the first permanent marking to be glimpsed on the surface of another planet. Huygens quickly used his discovery to demonstrate that the Martian day - the time it takes Mars to spin once around on its axis - is similar in length to our own. He was deeply involved, too, in speculation about the existence of extraterrestrial life, a subject that dominates his
