  4. Celsius Thermometer • Celsius' fixed scale for measuring temperature defines zero degrees as the temperature at which water freezes, and 100 degrees as the temperature at which water boils.

  5. Travel • After he finished his education time in the town north of Stockholm, he became a professor for astronomy by 1730. At this time there was no larger observatory anywhere in Sweden. Therefore, Celsius began a round trip to some of the famous European astronomy sites in 1732. He came from Nuremberg and Rome to Paris in 1734.

  6. Famous Writing • He wrote “Nova Methodus distantiam solis a terra determinandi” (1730) and “De observationibus pro figura telluris determinanda” (1738) along with many less important works.

  7.
