Audouin Charles Dollfus, a French physicist and astronomer was born on November 12, 1924.
Dollfus estimated that the atmospheric pressure at ground level was about 1 mm of mercury.
In 1966 Dollfus discovered Janus, the innermost moon of Saturn, at a time when the rings to which it is very close were seen edge on from Earth (and practically invisible).
