    De Lacaille studied the stars in the Southern hemisphere. Pascal, Newton, and other historical figures studied mathematics, space, and time to understand the mysteries of the universe. Since De Lacaille was mentioned in the same context, it can be inferred that his study of the stars would also be related to understanding the mysteries of the universe. Since he studied the stars, it is logical to assume that he would have done so in the hemisphere where the stars are visible, which is the Southern hemisphere.
