47/365 (3,365)
Saw Ken's pic from yesterday and I'd forgotten it was Galileo's birthday. And as I have a thermometer on my desk gathering dust, I thought this would do for the 365 treasure hunt, number 22 dust :)
Anyways, I've just given it it's annual dusting.
A small meat thermometer as taken right out of a kitchen drawer. The face measures 1.0 inches across.

This is a working thermometer based on what Galileo built. There's a lot of YouTube stuff on how it works, so, basically, you read the temperature by looking at the tag on the glass ball floating in the center -- the blue one in this shot. The tag on that one says it's 70 degrees. (Nicknacks DSC_0226.jpg)

This is a very clever thermometer. Today was in the 70's here in Central Upstate, NY.
Not hazardous in this form, but once broken these spill liquid mercury, definitely a hazardous substance.

I caught a reflection of the thermometer in the window and thought I'd like to revisit the colors and bokeh.
This is called a Galileo thermometer. Each glass bubble has a tag with a temp. printed on it. The lowest one that's floating at the top of the tube tells the temperature, in this case 76 degrees. They are marked in increments of 4 degrees, so it's not very precise. I'm not even sure it's very accurate, but it certainly is decorative!

A thermometer at the corner of Broadway and Reade Street in lower Manhattan advertising The Sun, which was a daily newspaper that was published from 1833 to 1950.
Although the casing dates to 1917 when The Sun moved into a former department store it originally housed a clock. The thermometer is a very recent addition.
Yesterday was our hottest ever. This was at my place at 1.30 pm. Thunderstorms are due to freshen things up!
The temperature dial on my oven is off considerably. I'm using a calibrated oven thermometer today and hope today's results will be a bit better than earlier this week.
