Anders Celsius (1701-1744) was a Swedish astronomer and scientist who proposed the centigrade scale eventually developed in 1745 by Carl Linnaeus.

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736) was a physicist and glass blower, born in Poland of German descent, who lived and worked in the Netherlands. His temperature scale from 0 (freezing point of brine) to 212 (boiling point of water) was widely used after its inception in 1724.
