Nomenclature

Anders Celsius (November 27, 1701 – April 25, 1744) was a Swedish astronomer. Celsius founded the Uppsala Astronomical Observatory in 1741, and in 1742 he proposed the Celsius temperature scale in a paper to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. His thermometer had 0 for the boiling point of water and 100 for the freezing point. The scale was reversed by Carolus Linnaeus in 1745, to how it is today.
