Nicolia Copernicus was known as the father of astronomy. He was the first person to state the theory that the earth goes around the sun. Nicolia Copernicus was born on February 19, 1473. Copernicus was born into a family of merchants. Then after his father’s death, his uncle took him under his wing and give him the best education of the day. After completing his education he went to the university of Krakow. There he studied liberal arts which included astronomy and astrology. Then like most earopeos, he was sent to Italy to learn medicine and law. Copernicus later studied at Padua and then in 1503 got his doctored in canon law. By 1514 Copernicus was known as a learned mathematician, physician, and astronomer. He was so known he was consulted in currency and coinage. Copernicus’s first big accomplishment was how he disproved Ptolemy’s theory about plants. He discovered holes in Ptolemy’s theory. Copernicus disagreed with how Ptolemy thought the planet’s order was. Then sometime between 1508 and 1514 Copernicus wrote the commentariolus. Which laid the basis for his theory on the order the planets go but it was published in his life even though it was a radical departure from normal thinking of the time. The reason capernusis didn’t publish it immediately was that there were still holes in his theory like how the sun is in the cent but the planets don’t circle perfectly around it. In the end, Copernicus didn’t publish his most important theory until his death in 1543.
