Swedish Astronomer and Mathematician
Anders Celsius opened Sweden to modern European science and initiated reforms in his country's astronomy curriculum. Known as the founder of Swedish astronomy, he is today remembered for establishing the centigrade scale, which bears his name.

Celsius was born in Uppsala on November 27, 1701. He studied astronomy and mathematics, and in 1725 became secretary of Uppsala's Scientific Society. After teaching mathematics for a few years he succeeded his father as professor of astronomy at Uppsala University (1730)

World of Physics on Anders Celsius
Celsius is a familiar name to much of the world since it represents the most widely accepted scale of temperature. It is ironic that its inventor, Anders Celsius, the inventor of the Celsius scale, was primarily an astronomer and did not conceive of his temperature scale until shortly before his death.

Answer 2

Anders Celsius (November 27, 1701 – April 25, 1744) was a Swedish astronomer. Celsius was born in Uppsala in Sweden. He was professor of astronomy at Uppsala University from 1730 to 1744, but traveled from 1732 to 1735 visiting notable observatories in Germany, Italy and France.

At Nuremberg in 1733 he published a collection of 316 observations of the aurora borealis made by himself and others over the period 1716-1732. In Paris he advocated the measurement of an arc of the meridian in Lapland, and in 1736 took part in the expedition organized for that purpose by the French Academy of Sciences.

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.

Anders Celsius was the first to perform and publish careful experiments aiming at the definition of an international temperature scale on scientific grounds. In his Swedish paper "Observations of two persistent degrees on a thermometer" he reports on experiments to check that the freezing point is independent of latitude (and also of atmospheric pressure!). He determined the dependence of the boiling of water with atmospheric pressure (in excellent agreement with modern data). He further gave a rule for the determination of the boiling point if the barometric pressure deviates from a certain standard pressure.

In 1744 he died of tuberculosis in Uppsala, and his scale was later reversed to its present form.

The Celsius crater on the Moon is named after him
