Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Thorn, Poland on February 19, 1473. He was the son of a wealthy merchant. After his father's death, he was raised by his mother's brother, a bishop in the Catholic Church. Copernicus studied mathematics and astronomy at the University of Krakow. Through his uncle's influence Copernicus was appointed a canon (church official) of the Catholic Church. He used the income from the position to help pay for additional studies. Copernicus studied law and medicine at the universities of Bologna, Padua, and Ferrara in Italy. While he was studying at the University of Bologna, his interest in astronomy was stimulated. He lived in the home of a mathematics professor who influenced him to question the astronomy beliefs of the day.

After his return to Poland, Copernicus lived in his uncle's bishopric palace. While there he performed church duties, practiced medicine and studied astronomy. In Copernicus' time most astronomers believed the theory the Greek astronomer Ptolomy had developed more than 1,000 years earlier. Ptolomy said the Earth was the center of the universe and was motionless. He believed all other heavenly bodies moved in complicated pat.

    February 19, 2013 - Nicolaus Copernicus 540th Birthday Google Doodle

    Today Google honors the astronomer and mathematician Nicolaus Copernicus with a Doodle.

    Copernicus was born on February 19, 1473 in Poland. He lived in the Renaissance Period.

    He was the first who proposed that the sun and not the earth was stationary in the center of our universe, and that the earth revolves around the sun. He created a heliocentric model to show this.

    Though this heliocentric idea of Copernicus was very controversial it started changing the way the world was viewed at that time. The most interesting point of this Doodle is, that Google was placed right in the center of the universe, with the sun placed in the second O..... Maybe a little hint to show how much influence Google already has within the internet universe

    Nicolaus Copernicus died on May 23, 1543

    On February 19, 2013, Google Doodle celebrates the 540th birthday of Nicolaus Copernicus (Poland).

    Nicolaus Copernicus (February 19, 1473 -- May 24, 1543) was a Renaissance mathematician and astronomer. He formulated a comprehensive heliocentric model which placed the Sun, rather than the Earth, at the center of the universe. The publication of Copernicus' epochal book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), just before his death in 1543, is considered a major event in the history of science. It began the Copernican Revolution and contributed importantly to the rise of the ensuing Scientific Revolution.
