Nicolaus Copernicus

Nicolaus Copernicus Nicolas Copernicus boasts a lifetime from 1473 to 1543, the sun does not move in the center of the universe, and the earth and other planets rotate around it. Polish astronomers completely changed their beliefs about the universe, and his ideas were controversial in his era, but our own common sense. Before the Copernicus, people were very different about the universe. A Greek astronomer named Ptolemy has his own theory of the earth and the relationship between the sun and other planets.

Biography written by enthusiastic disciple George Joachim Rutius (1514-74) is unfortunately lost, but some facts about Copernicus's early life are established. Based on the subsequent constellation operation, Nicolas Copernicus was born on February 19, 1473 in the central city of Torun, Poland, on the Vistula River south of Gdansk in the Baltic Sea. His father Nicolaus is a wealthy businessman and his mother, Barbara Watzenrode, is also from a major merchant family. Nicolas is the youngest of the four children. After his father's death between 1482 and 1485, his mother's brother Lucas Vazzerod (1447-1512) placed his nephew under his protection. Watzenrode quickly became a bishop of the Varimia (Warmia) chapter, seeing the education of the young Nicolaus and his future church experience.
