# The Paris Observatoire is begun in 1667 as a dated royal astronomical instrument, complex with Colbert and Cassini

Date: 1667

## The fact

In 1667 the Paris Observatoire was begun as a royal astronomical work. The instrument is that dated observatory, not a later planetarium show. Louis XIV of France's documented role is: He funded. Colbert and the Academy sat in the file. Giovanni Domenico Cassini later directed. He did not grind the lenses.

## Context

Cassini is the named later director. Sharing Colbert and unnamed builders is required. The setting of The Paris Observatoire is begun in 1667 as a dated royal astronomical instrument, complex with Colbert and Cassini is the public file around 1667-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver edu-[digital-learning-access](/drivers/edu-digital-learning-access) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Shared responsibility is part of The Paris Observatoire is begun in 1667 as a dated royal astronomical instrument, complex with Colbert and Cassini. Naming Louis XIV of France does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1667-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

## Significance

Improving path from The Paris Observatoire is begun in 1667 as a dated royal astronomical instrument, complex with Colbert and Cassini on 1667-01-01. A public observatory is an education-and-measurement path. The welfare reading on this path is improving.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a sourced public record of The Paris Observatoire is begun in 1667 as a dated royal astronomical instrument, complex with Colbert and Cassini under 1667-01-01 for Louis XIV of France. Established: a sourced public record of The Paris Observatoire is begun in 1667 as a dated royal astronomical instrument, complex with Colbert and Cassini under 1667-01-01.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not twin every Cassini map as a second 1667 act. Mixed effects of The Paris Observatoire is begun in 1667 as a dated royal astronomical instrument, complex with Colbert and Cassini are separate paths.

The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
