Rhombic dodecahedron angle underspecified

[edit]

Fairflow (talk) 18:36, 31 October 2020 (UTC)Page refers to "the angle" of the rhombic dodecahedron. Which angle? And what is its value? The dihedral angle is 120 degrees and this is not the Maraldi angle. Fairflow (talk) 18:36, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Better source needed

[edit]

The text says that he studied Mars extensively from 1672 (from age 7!). No source is given, but it may come from a probable error in "The Planet Mars: A History of Observation and Discovery" by William Sheehan Chapter 3. "Maraldi made a careful series of observations at every opposition beginning in 1672; ..." A more likely start would have been the next perihelic opposition on 8 August 1687, the year he started working with his uncle Cassini in Paris. Plumbum208 (talk) 21:53, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
