Christiaan Huygens, Lord of Zeelhem, FRS (/ ˈ h aɪ ɡ ən z / HY-gənz, [2] US also / ˈ h ɔɪ ɡ ən z / HOY-gənz; [3] Dutch: [ˈkrɪstijaːn ˈɦœyɣə(n)s] ⓘ; also spelled Huyghens; Latin: Hugenius; 14 April 1629 – 8 July 1695) was a Dutch mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer, and inventor who is regarded as a key figure in the Scientific Revolution.
Christiaan Huygens was the first person to describe Saturn's rings as a disk surrounding Saturn. In 1655, Huygens became the first person to suggest that Saturn was surrounded by a ring, after Galileo's much less advanced telescope had failed to show rings. Galileo had reported the anomaly as possibly 3 planets instead of one.
Christiaan Huygens – the first to propose that there was a ring surrounding Saturn, in 1655 Giovanni Cassini – discovered the separation between the A and B rings (the Cassini Division), in 1675 Édouard Roche – French astronomer who described how a satellite that comes within the Roche limit of Saturn could break up and form the rings

NASA's Cassini spacecraft sent back images looking over the shoulder of Saturn's rings. See more on Saturn's rings: No telescope on this planet would ever have been able to see this.
1656 – Christiaan Huygens identifies Saturn's rings as rings and discovers its moon Titan. [ 94 ] 1659 – Huygens estimated a value of about 24,000 Earth radii for the distance Earth-Sun , remarkably close to modern values but he was based on many unproven (and incorrect) assumptions; the accuracy of his value seems to be based more on luck ...
Saturn’s rings are seen as viewed by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, which obtained the images that comprise this mosaic at a distance of approximately 450,000 miles from Saturn April 25, 2007.
Saturn I (1686–1789) Cassini [15] Together with his previous two discoveries, Cassini named these satellites Sidera Lodoicea. In his work Kosmotheôros [16] (published posthumously in 1698), Christiaan Huygens relates "Jupiter you see has his four, and Saturn his five Moons about him, all plac’d in their Orbits."
