The Foucault Pendulum, named for the French physicist Jean Foucault who first used it in 1851 to demonstrate the rotation of the earth, was the first demonstration of the earth's rotation using laboratory equipment rather than astronomical observations. Many museums of natural history have Foucault Pendulum exhibits.
