When the probe — named Huygens, for the 17th century Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens who discovered that world — transmitted its first pictures, the painted moonscape clashed with the real ...

The renowned Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens was probably nearsighted, a new study looking into the telescopes he built more than 300 years ago has found.

Christiaan Huygens built excellent lenses in the 17th century, but his telescopes lacked sharpness in comparison with what was possible at that time. In a recent study, Dr. Alex Pietrow ...
