Citation
Description The paper briefly presents the historical context of measuring the speed of light using the observed immersions of Jupiter's moon Io. In literature the method described by the Danish astronomer Ole Romer is interpreted in different ways, often erroneously. Romer's method can be used in mathematical and physical tasks, while the historical context serves to motivate students.
