  • 1700: Mathematician, astronomer, and criminal investigator Giovanni Domenico Cassini publishes new study of the division of the rings of Saturn which reveals a series of previously unknown crimes against astronomical constants. This study will influence a generation of crime-fighting astronomers, leading to numerous breakthroughs in scientific law enforcement.
