Patron of our school
Nicolaus Copernicus - was a Renaissance astronomer and the first person
to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology which displaced
the Earth from the center of the universe. Copernicus' epochal book,
On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres. His heliocentric model,
with the Sun at the center of the universe, demonstrated that the
observed motions of celestial objects can be explained without putting
Earth at rest in the center of the universe. His work stimulated
further scientific investigations, becoming a landmark in the history
of science that is often referred to as the Copernican Revolution.
Among the great polymaths of the Renaissance, Copernicus was a
mathematician, astronomer, jurist with a doctorate in law, physician,
quadrilingual polyglot, classics scholar, translator, artist, Catholic
cleric, governor, diplomat and economist.
