1. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jean Picard Jean Picard. Astronomer, b. at La Flêche, 21 July, 1620; d. at Paris,12 Oct., 1682. He was a priest and prior of Rillé in Anjou. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12073b.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... P > Jean Picard A B C D ... Z Jean Picard toises (a toise = about 6.4 ft.) for the degree of arc, has been found to be only 14 toises too small. He applied telescopes and micrometers to graduated astronomical and measuring instruments as early as 1667. The quadrant he used had a radius of 38 inches and was so finely graduated that he could read the angles to one quarter of a minute. The sextant employed for determining the meridian was 6 feet in radius. In 1659 he was able to observe stars on the meridian during day-time and to measure their position with the aid of cross-wires at the focus of his telescope. In order to make sure that his standard toise should not be lost, like those used by others before him, he conceived the idea of comparing it with the length of the simple pendulum beating seconds at Paris, and thus made it possible to reproduce the standard at any time. Picard is regarded as the founder of modern astronomy in France. He introduced new methods, improved the old instruments, and added new devices, such as the pendulum clock. As a result of Picard's work, Newton was able to revise his calculations and announce his great law of universal gravitation. The discovery of the aberration of light also became a possibility on account of Picard's study of Tycho Brahe's observations. In 1671 he received from Bartholinus at Copenhagen an exact copy of Tycho's records and then went with Bartholinus to the Island of Hveen in order to determine the exact position of Tycho's observatory at Uranienborg. He was modest and unselfish enough to recommend the rival Italian astronomer Cassini to Colbert and Louis XIV for the direction of the new observatory at Paris. Cassini, on the contrary, proved envious, ignoring Picard's insistent recommendations of a mural circle for accurate meridional observations, until after the latter's death.

@import "character.css"; Jean-Luc Picard An accomplished diplomat who can virtually do no wrong, you sometimes know it is best to rely on the council of others while holding the reins. There are some words which I have known since I was a schoolboy. "With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." These words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie as a wisdom, and warning. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged. Jean-Luc is a character in the Star Trek universe. This The Next Generation fan site has an outline of his career.

Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Jean-Luc Picard Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition Jean-Luc Picard is a fictional character A fictional character is any person who appears in a work of fiction. More accurately, a fictional character is the person or conscious entity we imagine to exist within the world of such a work. In addition to people, characters can be aliens, animals, gods or, occasionally, inanimate objects. Characters are almost always at the center of fictional texts, especially novels and plays. It is, in fact, hard to imagine a novel or play without characters, though such texts have been attempted (James Joyce's Finnegans Wake is one of the most famous examples). In poetry, there is almost always some sort of person present, but often only in the form of a narrator or an imagined listener. Click the link for more information. in the Star Trek Alternate use: Star Trek project Star Trek is a science fiction television franchise created by Gene Roddenberry in 1966 that tells the tale of the crew of the starship Enterprise and of their adventures "to boldly go where no man has gone before." The original show was cancelled in 1969 due to apparently low ratings, but became phenomenally popular in syndication. To date, four additional TV series and ten motion pictures set within the Star Trek universe have been released. It is, along with Star Wars, the most popular media science fiction franchise of the late 20th century.

19. TNG - Captain Jean Luc Picard Biography of the character and the actor. http://mario.lapam.mo.it/tng/picard.htm

Captain Jean Luc Picard Captain of the fifth Starship Enterprise and a noted figure in space exploration, science, and interstellar diplomacy. ("Encounter at Farpoint, Part I" [TNG]). As a young lieutenant, Picard met Ambassador Sarek at the wedding of the ambassador's son. Picard recalled how in awe he was at meeting someone who had helped to shape the Federation. ("Sarek" [TNG]). As a young officer, Picard was romantically involved with the future Jenice Manheim. Although the two had been strongly attracted to each other, Picard feared commitment, and eventually broke off the relationship in 2342. Picard regretted losing Jenice for many years, and the two saw each other again in 2364 when the Enterprise -D saved her husband, Dr. Paul Manheim, after a serious laboratory accident on Vandor IX. ("We'll Always Have Paris" [TNG]). In his early career, Picard distinguished himself when he led an away team to planet Mi lika III, to save an endangered ambassador. ("Tapestry" [TNG]). On the Stargazer. Lieutenant Picard was a bridge officer on the U.S.S. Stargazer when the ship's captain was killed. Picard took charge of the bridge and for his service in the emergency was offered the command of the Sta rgazer. ("Tapestry" [TNG]). Picard commanded the Stargazer for some 20 years, until 2355, when the ship was nearly destroyed by an unprovoked sneak attack near the Maxia Zeta star system. The surviving Stargazer crew, including Picard, drifted for weeks in shuttlecraft before being rescued. The assailant in the incident was unknown, but was later found to be a Ferengi spacecraft. ("The Battle" [TNG]). Following the loss of the Star gazer, Picard was court-martialed as required by standard Starfleet procedure, but he was exonerated. The prosecutor in the case was Phillipa Louvois, with whom Picard had been romantically involved. ("The Measure of a Man" [TNG]).

He received an M.A. from the University of Paris is 1650. Picard devised a micrometer to measure the diameters of celestial objects such as the Sun, Moon and planets. In 1667 Picard added a telescope to the quadrant making it much more useful in observations. He greatly increased the accuracy of measurements of the Earth, using Snell 's method of triangulation. He measured the length of the arc of the meridian; the measurements appear in Mesure de la Terre (1671). This data was used by Newton in his gravitational theory. In the same year Picard went to Tycho Brahe 's observatory at Hven Island in Sweden so that its location could be determined accurately and so Tycho observations could be directly compared with others. In 1673 Picard moved to the Paris Observatory where he collaborated with Cassini La Hire Picard was one of the first to apply scientific methods to the making of maps. He produced a map of the Paris region, then went on to join a project to map France. Among his other skills were hydraulics, a topic on which he wrote but one where he put his skills into practice; he solved the problem of supplying the fountains at Versailles with water.
