[edit] Architect
Why is the architect "probably" Perrault? Is there a doubt? Wetman 00:07, 1 Feb 2004 (UTC)
So says my EB 2001 - don't know any more than that. Try posting on the Perrault page?Cutler 00:12, 1 Feb 2004 (UTC)
The Paris Observatory is not run by the French Academy of Sciences. It actually has a status close to that of a public university. David.Monniaux 06:27, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Leap second addition
According to BBC:
The Paris Observatory tells the world every six months whether to add or subtract a second from atomic clocks, the standard for everyday timekeeping.
I think it is an important thing to be mentioned. 133.44.1.220 18:14, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
