Nicolas Louis (Abbé Nicolas Louis de La Caille)

Born: 29 December 1713 Rumigny, France, Died: 21 March 1762 (aged 48) Paris, France

He was a French astronomer. His desire to determine the distances of the planets trigonometrically, using the longest possible baseline, led him to propose, in 1750, an expedition to the Cape of Good Hope.
