Kilimanjaro (Volkeno)
Tarehe 6 Oktoba 1889 Hans Meyer alikuwa mtu wa kwanza anayejulkikana kupanda mlima na kufika hadi kilele cha Kibo. Alichagua jina la "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Spitze" ("Ncha ya Kaisari Wilhelm"). That name apparently was used until Tanzania was formed in 1964, when the summit was renamed "Uhuru", meaning "Freedom Peak" in Kiswahili.
Mpito wa Zuhura
Mtaalamu wa kwanza aliyetabiri mpito wa Zuhura kwa mwaka 1639 alikuwa Johannes Kepler lakini alifariki kabla ya tukio, hivyo hakuliona mwenyewe. Utabiri wake ulithibitishwa miaka 8 baadaye na Waingereza Jeremia Horrocks na William Crabtree wakati wa mpito wa pili tarehe 4 Disemba 1639.
