As instruments improved, astronomers began to conclude features on the satellite itself. In 1665, the Italian stargazer Giovanni Cassini, using a high-lineament telescope made-up by Giuseppe Campani, observed a persistent, oval-molded characteristic on Jupiter. This "Permanent Spot," as he known as it, allowed him to lay down some other central breakthrough. By trailing its drive crossways the planet’s face, he calculated that Jupiter rotates on its axis of rotation at an unbelievable speed, c...
