The Cyanometer: A Tool to Measure the Sky’s Blueness Invented by Swiss scientist Horace-Bénédict de Saussure in the 18th century, the circular chart contains 52 shades of blue. Inspired by his love for the Alps, especially Mont Blanc, Saussure climbed to great heights to study the deeper blue skies at higher altitudes.

This is fascinating! It's amazing how Saussure's passion for the Alps led to such a unique and scientific way of measuring the sky's blueness. It’s incredible that such a simple tool was used to explore the beauty of nature!
