Ole Christensen Rømer (Aarhus, 25 de setembro de 1644 – Copenhaga, 19 de setembro de 1710) foi um astrónomo dinamarquês.
Ole Christensen Rømer (Danish: [ˈoːlə ˈʁœˀmɐ]; 25 September 1644 – 19 September 1710) was a Danish astronomer who, in 1676, first demonstrated that light travels at a finite speed. Rømer also invented the modern thermometer showing the temperature between two fixed points, namely the points at which water respectively boils and freezes.
Ole Rømer foi quem determinou a velocidade da luz. O astrônomo não é conhecido do grande público, mas seu nome está unido a essa grande descoberta científica ocorrida há 340 anos.
Ole Rømer (born September 25, 1644, Århus, Jutland—died September 23, 1710, Copenhagen) was a Danish astronomer who demonstrated conclusively that light travels at a finite speed. Rømer went to Paris in 1672, where he spent nine years working at the Royal Observatory.

Learn how the Danish astronomer Ole Roemer (1644–1710) used eclipses of Jupiter's moon Io to estimate the speed of light in 1676. Find out the historical and scientific significance of his discovery and his later achievements in astronomy and politics.
Rømer's determination of the speed of light was the demonstration in 1676 that light has an apprehensible, measurable speed and so does not travel instantaneously. The discovery is usually attributed to Danish astronomer Ole Rømer, who was working at the Royal Observatory in Paris at the time.
