      The Great Red Spot on Jupiter is not a great as it once was. But a Berkeley scientist says that it is not dying just yet.https://nyti.ms/2qBlXNp  by @kchangnyt

      Strictly speaking, "he [Cassini] and others" didn't "continue[] observing it until 1713" if "he died in 1712." That's like saying "Cassini and others stayed at the party until 10 (Cassini went home at 8 and died)." It's self-contradictory.pic.twitter.com/e9EpGsy9X1

      To make this make sense you really have to say that Cassini observed the spot with others until 1712, when he died; the others continued for a year afterwards.

      Cassini and his successor at the observatory observed the spot until 1713. That's true. You're saying that the parenthetical somehow makes it not true.

      If you use the word successor, instead of "others," now you're implying that Cassini's observation ceased before that date. If you say, however, "Cassini and others stood watching the paint dry for twelve hours (Cassini was indisposed and left after eight)," you have a problem.

      There, "Cassini and others stood watching for twelve hours" is false, just as false as "I and 45 others have served as President of the United States." "Cassini and his successor watched the paint dry for twelve hours" would be fine because it indicates a switch midway.

      How would you word it? Key pts are 1) Cassini made repeated observations, establishing that the spot was a lasting feature and 2) a gap started in 1713. Did not want to imply that Cassini made the last observation from the beyond the grave.

      Not the most elegant paragraph I've ever written, but no one is misinformed by it.
