Polish astronomer who advanced the heliocentric theory that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. This was highly controversial at the time as the Ptolemaic view of the universe, which was the prevailing theory for over 1000 years, was deeply ingrained in the prevailing philosophy and religion. It should be noted, however, that the heliocentric idea was first put forth by Aristarcus of Samos in the 3rd century BC, a fact known to Copernicus but long ignored.

His deduction that the Earth is a moving planet was developed by later astronomers such as Kepler and Galileo. Polish astronomer who believed that the Sun, not the Earth, is at the centre of the Solar System, thus defying the Christian church doctrine of the time. For 30 years, he worked on the hypothesis that the rotation and the orbital motion of the Earth are responsible for the apparent movement of the heavenly bodies. His great work De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium/On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres was the important first step to the more accurate picture of the Solar System built up by Tycho Brahe Kepler Galileo , and later astronomers.

Here is a hyperlink to the Microsoft Encarta home page. http://www.encarta.msn.com Copernicus, Nicolaus (1473-1543), Polish astronomer, best known for his astronomical theory that the sun is at rest near the center of the universe, and that the earth, spinning on its axis once daily, revolves annually around the sun. This is called the heliocentric, or sun-centered, system. See Astronomy; Solar System. Early Life and Education Return to Poland From 1503 to 1510, Copernicus lived in his uncle's bishopric palace in Lidzbark Warminski, assisting in the administration of the diocese and in the conflict against the Teutonic Knights. There he published his first book, a Latin translation of letters on morals by a 7th-century Byzantine writer, Theophylactus of Simocatta. Sometime between 1507 and 1515, he completed a short astronomical treatise, De Hypothesibus Motuum Coelestium a se Constitutis Commentariolus (known as the Commentariolus), which was not published until the 19th century. In this work he laid down the principles of his new heliocentric astronomy. After moving to Frauenburg in 1512, Copernicus took part in the Fifth Lateran Council's commission on calendar reform in 1515; wrote a treatise on money in 1517; and began his major work, De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), which was finished by 1530 but was first published by a Lutheran printer in Nuremberg, Germany, just before Copernicus's death in 1543.

All this is suggested by the systematic procession of events and the harmony of the whole Universe, if only we face the facts, as they say, 'with both eyes open'. Nicolaus Copernicus (Mikolai Kopernik) was born February 19, 1473 in Torun, Poland. Copernicus was a proponent of the theory that the Sun, and not the Earth, is at rest in the center of the Universe. Copernicus received his education, first at the University of Krakow, and then at various universities in Italy. While attending Padua University in Italy, Copernicus studied medicine, Greek, and mathematical sciences. He eventually received a degree in Canon Law at the University of Ferrara. When Copernicus returned to Poland he practiced medicine, though his official employment was as a canon in the cathedral chapter run by his uncle, the Bishop of Olsztyn. Copernicus was never a professional Astronomer. The great work that made him famous was written in his spare time. It was for friends he met in Rome while pursuing his education that, in about 1513, Copernicus first wrote a short account his heliocentric (sun centered) cosmology. His heliocentric system states that the Sun (not the Earth) is at rest in the center of the Universe, with the other heavenly bodies (planets and stars) revolving around it in circular orbits. A full account of the theory titled, On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres

Copernicus, Nicolaus geb. 19.02.1473 in Thorn, gest. 24.05.1543 in Frauenburg Astronom Er besuchte das Kulmer Patikular, studierte in Krakau Mathematik, Astronomie und " den Aristoteles". In Bologna erwarb er die Matrikel des " hochedeln Collegiums der Deutschen" an der Rechtsfakultät.. Er studierte in Padua Medizin und promovierte in Ferrara im kanonischen Recht. Der ermländische Kanonikus und Scholastikus der Kollegiatkirche zum Heiligen Kreuz auf der Breslauer Dominsel wurde Leibarzt seines Onkels, des Bischofs Lukas Watzenrode in Heilsberg. Berühmt wurde er als Begründer des neuen astronomischen Weltbildes, obwohl seine Erfolge als Staatsmann und Jurist, Sprachforscher und Kenner der Antike nicht zu unterschätzen sind. Er zeichnete Landkarten von Preußen, verfaßte Denkschriften zur Münzreform. Unsterblich machte ihn sein Werk " De revolutionibus ", durch das er der Wissenschaft einen völlig neuen Weg wies. Goethe nannte Copernicus den größten und wirkungsvollsten Entdecker aller Zeiten, Lichtenberg sprach von einem " der größten und kühnsten Gedanken, die der Mensch gewagt hat". Sein Werk wurde fortgesetzt von Giordano Bruno, Tycho Brahe, Johannes Keppler, Galileo Galilei, Isaak Newton und endgültig bewiesen von Wilhelm Bessel in der Sternwarte zu Königsberg.

Nicholas Copernicus Nicholas Copernicus - born Feb. 19, 1473, Torun, Pol. d. May 24, 1543, Frauenburg, East Prussia [now Frombork, Poland] His name in Polish was MIKOLAJ KOPERNIK. He was a Polish astronomer who proposed that the planets have the Sun as the fixed point to which their motions are to be referred; that the Earth is a planet which, besides orbiting the Sun annually, also turns once daily on its own axis; and that very slow, long-term changes in the direction of this axis account for the precession of the equinoxes. This representation of the heavens is usually called the heliocentric, or "Sun-centred," systemderived from the Greek helios, meaning "Sun." Copernicus's theory had important consequences for later thinkers of the scientific revolution, including such major figures as Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, and Newton. Copernicus probably hit upon his main idea sometime between 1508 and 1514, and during those years he wrote a manuscript usually called the Commentariolus ("Little Commentary"). However, the book that contains the final version of his theory, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium libri vi ("Six Books Concerning the Revolutions of the Heavenly Orbs"), did not appear in print until 1543, the year of his death. Early life and education  Certain facts about Copernicus's early life are well established, although a biography written by his ardent disciple Georg Joachim Rheticus (1514-74) is unfortunately lost. According to a later horoscope, Nicolaus Copernicus was born on February 19, 1473, in Torun, a city in north-central Poland on the Vistula River south of the major Baltic seaport of Gdansk. His father, Nicolaus, was a well-to-do merchant, and his mother, Barbara Watzenrode, also came from a leading merchant family. Nicolaus was the youngest of four children.
