1473年2月19日，尼古拉斯·哥白尼进入一个被认为是宇宙中心的世界。当他在1543年去世时，他成功地改变了我们对地球在宇宙中的位置的看法。哥白尼是一个受过良好教育的人，先在波兰学习，然后在意大利的博洛尼亚学习。然后他搬到了帕多瓦，在那里他进行了医学研究，然后专注于费拉拉大学的法律。他于1503年获得了教会法博士学位。不久之后，他回到波兰，与叔叔一起度过了几年，协助管理教区和与条顿骑士团的冲突。在此期间，他出版了他的第一本书，这本书是7世纪拜占庭作家西莫卡塔的Theophylactus的道德信件的拉丁文翻译。在博洛尼亚学习期间，哥白尼受到天文学教授多梅尼科·玛丽亚·德·费拉拉的极大影响，哥白尼对费拉拉对托勒密“地理学”的批评特别感兴趣。 1497年3月9日，这些人观察到恒星Aldebaran（在金牛座中）的掩星（月亮日蚀）。 1500年，尼古拉斯在罗马讲授天文学。因此，在执行他的教会职责和执业医学时，他也应该将注意力转向天文学。
加拿大麦克马斯特大学文学Essay代写:Nicolaus Copernicus的传记
On February 19, 1473, Nicolaus Copernicus entered a world that was considered to be the center of the universe. By the time he died in 1543, he had succeeded in changing our views of Earth’s place in the cosmos. Copernicus was a well-educated man, studying first in Poland and then in Bologna, Italy. He then moved to Padua,where he undertook medical studies, and then focused on law at the University of Ferrara. He received a doctorate in canon law in 1503. Soon afterward, he returned to Poland, spending several years with his uncle, assisting in the administration of the diocese and in the conflict against the Teutonic Knights. During this time, he published his first book, which was a Latin translation of letters on morals by 7th-century Byzantine writer, Theophylactus of Simocatta. While studying in Bologna, Copernicus was greatly influenced by professor of astronomy Domenico Maria de Ferrara, Copernicus was especially interested in Ferrara’s criticism of the “Geography” of Ptolemy. On March 9, 1497 the men observed the occultation (eclipse by the moon) of the star Aldebaran (in the constellation Taurus). In 1500, Nicolaus lectured on astronomy in Rome. So, it should have been no surprise that while performing his ecclesiastical duties and practicing medicine, he also returned his attention to astronomy.
