| Nicolaus Copernicus
 |
Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Torun in 1473. He spent much
of his youth studying. His studies included astronomy, mathematics,
philosophy and medicine at different universities. He added
his own considerations to those of Ptolemy and Aristoteles.
He created a model in which he placed the sun into the centre
of our solar system and gave an inclination to the earth. He
wrote a book about his discoveries „On the Revolution of
Heavenly Spheres ", which was published just before he
died. |
