Anders Celsius was born on November 27,1701 in Uppsala, Sweden. Celsius was raised a Lutheran. His father was an astronomy professor. He completed school in his hometown Uppsala. In school Anders Celsius showed extraordinary talent in his mathematical skills. He studied at Uppsala University just like his father had done.He joined as a professor of astronomy in 1730. Celsius took contribute in building the Uppsala Astronomical Observatory in 1740. It is the oldest astronomical observatory in Sweden. Celsius traveled to many European astronomy sites …show more content…
The expedition was to Lapland (northern part of Sweden). In 1744 Newton's theory about the flattening of the earth at its poles was confirmed after all the measurements had been taken.Even though the expedition only lasted a year Celsius got many great measures. After the expedition Anders Celsius returned home to Uppsala,Sweden. Celsius is considered to be the first astronomer to analyze the earth's magnetic field. He analyzed this at the time he analyzed the norther light and he assessed the brightness of the stars with his measuring tools. At the observatory Celsius favored the work of the temperature scale. The scale of a mercury thermometer at an air pressure of 760 mm of mercury into 100 degrees celsius. This is where 100 was taken as the freezing point of 0. By favoring the temperature scale celsius started making observations. As a result of his testing he came up with the centigrade scale. His thoughts about the measuring environment and methods was thought to be compared to Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit and Rene- Antoine Ferchault de Reaumur. Celsius was an admire of the Gregorian calendar. The Gregorian calendar was adapted i Sweden in 1753. The original name for Anders Celsius scale was Centigrade (early 19th century word for a
Honor can be defined by how one holds them in the public eye. Others may say that honor is how you live your life when none can see your actions. However defined honor can play major roles in how a person will act in a given situation. The Crucible by Arthur Miller has excellent examples of how honor can manipulate people’s decisions in times of importance. John proctor holds his moral standpoint and does not falter into the temptations of selfishness, while Elizabeth would describe honor as how a person lives their lives. Some can even describe honor as what is most important in life; family. Giles believed that his life was the ultimate object he could sacrifice to maintain his family’s happiness. However honor can be defined, one thing is certain; Everyone has some degree of honor in their lives.
Honor, just as today, is the way your name is viewed by others in the public. Threats toward ones honor might be defended differently in the public view. Honor varied between genders. Males felt it necessary to defend their honor when another slighted their masculinity, family, or physical ability. Females felt honor too. They often saw it important to defend their honor like did the males. Usually it was defended by gossip or name-calling but on occasion did result in physical violence as well. Females saw honor in a moral sense. Ones sexual activity or lack thereof before marriage, fidelity in marriage and celibacy after marriage all proved a woman to be honorable. Just like today, a personal reputation would be on the line if called a demoralizing name.
Over the next 50 years Copernicus’s book would slowly make its way across Europe. In 1566 a second edition was published without the false preface. The church denounced the book and Copernicus for “going against the bible”, but eventually began to accept it and allow it to be taught. Copernicus’s work was profound and changed the direction of Astronomy. It dared to challenge the notion that the Earth was the center of the universe, and that heavenly matter was unchanging and perfect. Over the next several hundred years Brahe would observe, Kepler and Newton would pour over the numbers and they would find the Copernicus’s model had underlying truths, some flaws, but with tweaking and vigilant observations of the celestial motions it would be the basis that lead them to the model we know today. Bringing forth what we know as the Copernican Revolution.
Honor is being respected by the people for the actions performed and receiving loyalty by ones family. Honor was gained by heroic actions throughout battles and accomplishments within ones lifetime. Having a strong reputation in society also leads to achieving honor. One is honored by the people they serve and protect. Hekabe claims to Hektor that “they adored you as if you were a god, since in truth you were their high honor while you lived” (Homer XX.434-435). Though Hektor was a mortal, he was idolized as an immortal by his city based on his response to society. The Trojans looked
Honor is having pride in one’s family name or self and having courage. Honor can be a blessing in some cases, but in other cases it can be a curse. Some people use honor to make themselves better, but others use honor to make others feel bad. The theme of honor is shown throughout American literature especially in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Great Gatsby, and Chinese Cinderella. Honor was first introduced in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Honor. What is honor? What does it truly mean to be honorable? What does it take to be honorable? Honor is a simple word that has many definitions. What is your definition of honor? For many years past, honor has been the foundation for what drove a man to be the best he could be and to do the best he could do. In English literature, many of the main characters were based off of the concept of honor. For example, in the literary works Mel Gibson’s Braveheart, the epic poem Beowulf, and the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, each main character’s ethics are determined by their way of perceiving what honor is. Honor means to be loyal, diligent, dedicated, strong willed, to stand for what you believe while ignoring all the consequences, standing up for something few others or no one else will, and being looked up to as a role model.
In I Henry IV, the characters have different ideas to what honor actually is. For Hotspur, who is very hot headed and quick to act out, Honor comes with being in battle and winning. For hotspur, honor can only be won and that’s exactly what he chooses to do. King Henry IV idea of power consists of him being the ruler and the trust he has gained from the nation he has ruled over for so many years. Hal also has his own idea of power which consists of the ability for honor to be transferred from one person to another after death. “He acknowledges that Hotspur has achieved honor in battle, honor that his father respects. He claims that "for every honour sitting on his head would they were multitudes" while all he himself has accumulated was shame (3.2.144-143). He cultivates plans of taking from Hotspur the honor he has achieved in order to regain his good name.”(McNamara) But in this play these characters have done some shady acts in order to obtain the honor they have now. One could see it as the dishonorable acts that have been done in order to achieve power such as King Henry IV taking the crown away from Richard II in the first place. The ...
The first record of the movement of the planets was produced by Nicolaus Copernicus. He proposed that the earth was the center of everything, which the term is called geocentric. Kepler challenged the theory that the sun was the center of the earth and proposed that the sun was the center of everything; this term is referred to as heliocentric. Kepler’s heliocentric theory was accepted by most people and is accepted in today’s society. One of Kepler’s friends was a famous person named Galileo. Galileo is known for improving the design and the magnification of the telescope. With improvement of the telescope Galileo could describe the craters of the moon and the moons of Jupiter. Galileo also created the number for acceleration of all free falling objects as 9.8 meters per second. Galileo’s and Kepler’s theories were not approved by all people. Their theories contradicted verses in the bible, so the protestant church was extremely skeptical of both Galileo and Kepler’s
To be honorable is to have integrity. Can the ones committing crime, drunk in the gutter, or those who have died as hoodlums have such thing as honor? In the book, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, a gang called “Greasers” have honor. The book is about a rivalry between The Greasers, who are the poor kids, and the Socs who the rich kids. The Greasers are hoodlums, who do not always think clearly and let emotions, such as anger and sadness control them. The Greasers may not look like the type to show honor, but, the Greasers are honorable because they stick up for each other, have acts of bravery and courage, and care for each other.
What is honor? Honor coins an individual’s nature. A principle that exists on the purpose of perception, a martyr willing to conform and accomplish. In the case of Shakespeare's play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Brutus was the most honorable of men. A brother to Caesar, but a father to Rome, he persist and perish for the future of his child. The idea of ignorance, and the belief of a false faith, turns this noble man toward a vulgar grave, with virtuous notions.
In Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, Brutus and Cassius are both considered honorable men by the public. But, like all traits, honor is in the eye of the beholder. Honor is defined as evidence or symbols of distinction. Those who are placed in power are often chosen because of their traits, which include being honorable. If those in power have any faults, it could diminish their position in the eyes of the public.
Copernicus was a Polish astronomer born in 1473, in Thorn, Poland and died in 1543. He entered the University of Krakow in 1491 and studied there for four years. In 1496 he joined the University of Bologna in Italy to study church law and studied astronomy on his own time. He was asked to make a new calendar using the geocentric theory, the theory that the sun and moon orbit the earth. He found several flaws with this system and was bothered by it and went on to discover that the planets actually orbit the sun. Galileo supported Copernicus’ theory when he made discoveries with the telescope. We consider Copernicus to be the founder of modern Astronomy.
HONOR CAN BE DEFINED IN SO MANY WAYS CAN mean respect and esteem shown to another. HONOR may ALSO apply to the recognition of one's right to great respect or to any expression of such recognition IN SOME SITUATIONS IT implies profound respect mingled with love, devotion.There is a priceless respect that everyone in the world possesses, and that is the. respect of a person?s honor.

In plain language, an honorable person avoids deception whenever possible, treats others with respect and sticks to her beliefs no matter how others think or act. People generally do not seem to behave very well toward each other any more.Honor determines the hierarchy of an individual while revealing his loyalty and true intentions. Reward comes for those at the top whose honor does not diminish, while a false or fleeting honor of a lesser mortal causes destruction. Exploring and discussing how to act honorably toward each other is a place to start.The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be. How can you be a person of integrity? First, figure out what integrity (honor) is. My mother used to say to treat others the way you wanted to be treated. Does anyone do that these days? Well, I know that I don't want to be cut off in traffic, or yelled at, or bumped into rudely at the grocery store, or left picking up garbage all over my yard from the street. So I could try not to do those things to other people. I won't cut off others in traffic, or yell, or act rude at the grocery store, or throw garbage in the street. That's just a place to start. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

One cultural group was especially important for their discoveries in astronomy, the Egyptians. They were especially important because they were one of the first groups of people to create an accurate calendar. This calendar was different than others because it was based off of the Sun and stars rather than the moon. The calendars purpose was to make correct estimates of when to plan...
