He produced a precursor of atomic theory and made many contributions to astronomy, including the first geometric procedure for determining the equator of a rotating planet from three observations of a surface feature and for computing the orbit of a planet from three observations of its position. In 1753 he also discovered the absence of atmosphere on the Moon.Catalogue Numbers:Michel HR 148-149 Stamp Number HR 59-60 Yvert et Tellier HR 98-99 Stanley Gibbons HR 121-122 AFA number HR 134-135 Please note: You can combine purchases to minimise postage costs. 1-9 eligible items - single charge 10+ eligible items - postage is free.
