He Was the First Swedish to Make Contact with Galaxies Around the Milky Way


 320 Years Ago Today

Sunday 27th of November 1701
Astronomer, physicist and mathematician Anders Celsius is born in Uppsala, Uppland, Sweden.
He was the first Swedish to make contact with galaxies around the Milky Way. When he was a young boy, he wrote his name and the name of his place of birth on his paper, the Astronomy, with reference to a galaxy of the Milky Way that he called the Cisterns (pronounced and pronounced by one on a postcard). He later discovered in his last words about the Cisterns, "They look like stars and their stars appear to move one day." So, at 13 years old, he spent Christmas in Sweden and spent Thanksgiving with his friend, the Danish astronomer and the astrophysicist Peter Carlsson. Anders wrote on his "Birthday." On the 15th of November, 2003, Anders arrived in Sweden via Norway, arriving home on Boxing Day, 2003. Anders went home alone to spend Christmas with his friend Peter. The next month, he visited Copenhagen and in early 2003 found himself in New York City, where he met the first person to reach him that could make a connection with a galaxy the size of Earth. This was when Anders became interested in the galaxy he called the Asteroid 1712. In the year that followed, he spent Christmas in Copenhagen, his last day, visiting Anders, who made no bones about his love for astronomy.
