Christian Whigens discovered Saturn with a self-propelled telescope

On March 25, 1655, the Dutch astronomer Christian Whigens discovered Saturn's first satellite, Saturn.
He has made a great contribution to astronomy.He designed a sophisticated group of optical and astronomical instruments, such as brushing lenses, improving telescopes (using them to discover Saturn's rings, etc.) and microscopes, Heisenberg's glasses are still used to date, and several tens of meters long "air telescopes" (no matter, long focal range, poor coloring), showing the star's sky "planetary machine" (i.e. today's architectural prototype).
He invested much of his energy in the development and improvement of Saturn’s optical instruments. When Heisenberg was still in the Netherlands, he and his brother successfully designed and molded the telescope’s lenses with unprecedented precision and improved Kepler’s telescope. He used his own telescope to do a lot of astronomical observations. So his reward was to solve a long-standing astronomical mystery. Galileo had observed Saturn with a telescope and discovered that Saturn had ears, and later discovered that Saturn’s “ears” had disappeared. Scientists after Galileo had also studied the problem, but did not succeed. Saturn’s phenomenon became an astronomical mystery. Moreover, when Heisenberg improved his telescope

A Dutch physicist, astronomer, and mathematician, born in The Hague on 4 April 1629 and born in The Hague on 8 July 1695, he was an important pioneer of physics between Galileo and Newton, one of the most famous physicists in history, he has made outstanding contributions to the development of mechanics and the study of optics, has also achieved outstanding achievements in mathematics and astronomy, and is a major pioneer in modern natural science.

Titan (also known as Titan) is a satellite orbiting Saturn, is one of the largest satellites of Saturn and the second largest satellite of the solar system. The Dutch physicist, astronomer and mathematician Christian Whigens discovered it on March 25, 1655, and is also the first satellite discovered in the solar system after the satellite of Jupiter Galileo.
Since it is the only satellite in the solar system that has a thick atmosphere and is highly suspected of the existence of life, scientists also speculate that methane in the atmosphere may be the basis of life. Saturn can be seen as a time machine that helps us understand the early conditions of the Earth and unravel the mystery of how Earth life was born.
The surface gravity on Saturn is extremely low, comparable to the moon, but also has a thick atmosphere, and its surface atmospheric pressure is about 1.5 times that of the Earth, this strange phenomenon is a good subject for the study of planetary atmospherics.
