Its purpose was to measure the circumference of the [[Earth]].<br /> <br /> Godin’s expedition was only a partial success, its results ultimately overshadowed by those of a simultaneous mission to the North Pole. But its data did allow scientists to confirm the oblate shape of the Earth, which allowed sailors like [[Adéwalé]] to plan their travels more accurately, thus reducing costs and risks.<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Louis Godin}}<br /> [[Category:Animus Omega database entries]]<br /> [[Category:Database: People]]</div>
