Scheele is one of the characters in the play Oxygen by American chemist Carl
Djerassi and Nobel laureate Roald Hoffmann which premiered in 1999. Scheele is
also the main character in the play Man Without a Face by B. K. Cullen (pseudonym for Hungarian-American chemist Bela Kleiner) written in Hungarian in
2004 and translated to English in 2008, but which to the best of my knowledge have
been never performed on stage. Bergman appears as a character in the 1979 novel
Flower King (Blomsterkungen) about Carl Linnaeus by Swedish novelist Rune Pär
Olofsson.
Both Bergman and Scheele have been honoured by having lunar impact craters
named after them [55]. The Scheele crater (Fig. 28.9) is a 4 km crater located at
Oceanus Procellarum on the lunar near side. The Bergman crater (Fig. 28.10) is
located on far side of the moon and thus never visible from Earth. It is a 21 km
impact crater close to the inner rim of the larger Mendeleev crater. Bergman and
Scheele also have main-belt asteroids named after them. Asteroid number 12,356
Carlscheele (6 km in diameter) and asteroid number 29,307 Torbernbergman (unknown diameter) were both discovered by Belgian astronomer Eric Walter Elst at
the European Southern Observatory in Chile in the autumn of 1993 [56]. Both
