Roger Joseph Boscovich
![Portrait by [[Robert Edge Pine]], London, 1760.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Rudjer_Boskovic.jpg)
Boscovich 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 an atmosphere on the Moon. Provided by Wikipedia
