Anders Celsius independent of latitude (and of atmospheric pressure). He determined the dependence of the boiling of water with atmospheric pressure which was accurate even by modern-day standards. He further gave a rule for the determination of the boiling point if the barometric pressure deviates from a certain standard pressure. He proposed the Celsius temperature scale in a paper to the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala, the oldest Swedish scientific society, founded in 1710. His thermometer was calibrated with a value of 100° for the freezing point of water and 0° for the boiling point. In 1745, a year after Celsius'
Celsius (crater) Celsius with Celsius A. The interior floor of Celsius is almost featureless, except for a small craterlet in the northern half. By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Celsius. Celsius (crater) Celsius is a small lunar impact crater that is located in the rugged terrain in the southern hemisphere on the Moon's near side, it is named after Anders Celsius who was the founder of the Celsius temperature system which is part of the Metric system. It lies less than one crater diameter
