DESCRIPTION:

Physicist Jean Foucault had a theory, actually a lot of them he would go on to prove. But, on January 8, 1851, he put one of those theories to test. He believed the earth, being spherical, rotated on an axis. It is this axis that caused day and night, and contributed to the seasons. Using a device he designed called the Foucault pendulum, he was able to prove the earth did rotate on an axis from his home in Paris, France. Rotating Earth Day marks that anniversary.
