  their intelectual and phisycal abilities and to

Patron of our school

• Nicholas Copernicus - born Feb. 19, 1473, Torun,
  Poland, died May 24, 1543, Frauenburg, East
  Prussia now Frombork, Poland His name in Polish
  was Mikolaj Kopernik.
• He was a Polish astronomer who proposed that the
  planets have the Sun as the fixed point to which
  their motions are to be referred that the Earth
  is a planet which, besides orbiting the Sun
  annually, also turns once daily on its own axis
  and that very slow, long-term changes in the
  direction of this axis account for the precession
  of the equinoxes.
• This representation of the heavens is usually
  called the heliocentric, or "Sun-centred,"
  system--derived from the Greek helios, meaning
  "Sun." Copernicus's theory had important
  consequences for later thinkers of the scientific
  revolution, including such major figures as
  Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, and Newton.
• The book that contains the final version of his
  theory, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium libri
  vi ("Six Books Concerning the Revolutions of the
  Heavenly Orbs"), did not appear in print until
  1543, the year of his death.
