He was a cartographer , navigational and other instrument maker, medical practitioner, teacher. His father had a medical practice in Feldkirch. When he was executed Achilles Gasser took over the practice. Gasser helped Rheticus continue his studies and was a strong support to him. Rheticus took on this name for the former Roman province of Rhaetia and studied at Feldkirch, Zürich and the University of Wittenberg , where he received his M.A. in 1536. Philipp Melanchthon , the theologian and educator, greatly assisted Rheticus in obtaining appointments at several universities. During the time of the Reformation Melanchthon reorganized the whole educational system of Germany, reformed and founded several new universities. In 1536 Rheticus was aided by Melanchthon in receiving the appointment to the teaching position in astronomy and mathematics at the Wittenberg university. Two years later Melanchthon arranged for Rheticus to visit and study with the noted astronomers of the day. Rheticus took this to visit Copernicus in Frombork Warmia ). On the way he first went to

Nicolaus Copernicus In 1539 a young mathematician named georg joachim rheticus (15141574) from theUniversity of Wittenberg came to study with Copernicus. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/copernicus/
Extractions: Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) was a mathematician and astronomer who proposed that the sun was stationary in the center of the universe and the earth revolved around it. Disturbed by the failure of Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe to follow Aristotle's requirement for the uniform circular motion of all celestial bodies and determined to eliminate Ptolemy's equant, an imaginary point around which the bodies seemed to follow that requirement, Copernicus decided that he could achieve his goal only through a heliocentric model. He thereby created a concept of a universe in which the distances of the planets from the sun bore a direct relationship to the size of their orbits. At the time Copernicus's heliocentric idea was very controversial; nevertheless, it was the start of a change in the way the world was viewed, and Copernicus came to be seen as the initiator of the Scientific Revolution. 1.

Extractions: "Vedic Astronomy and Ritual: Nakshatra, the Stellar Frame and Yajna, the Ritual" Nakshatras (loosely translated as asterisms) play a crucial role in Vedic astronomy in addition to providing a stellar frame of reference. A great controversy raged about a hundred years ago over the origin of a stellar frame of reference because of the apparent similarity between the systems used by different civilizations-nakshatras by Indians, hsius by the Chinese, and manazil by the Arabs and so on. However, a closer examination reveals that the similarities are only superficial. The Indian system has its origin in the Vedic ritual yajna. This paper examines the connection between the ritual and astronomy going back to the Vedic sources. It tries to answer some of the questions that have not been answered satisfactorily, such as: are there twenty seven or twenty eight nakshatras? which is the earlier list and which later? etc. It will also point out the Vedic origin of the nakshatra system in contrast to a Mesopotamian origin.

Extractions: The sphere of the fixed stars is followed by the first of the planets, Saturn, which completes its circuit in 30 years. After Saturn, Jupiter accomplishes its revolution in 12 years. Then Mars revolves in 2 years. The annual revolution takes the series' fourth place, which contains the earth... together with the lunar sphere as an epicycle. In the fifth place Venus returns in 9 months. Lastly, the sixth place is held by Mercury, which revolves in a period of 80 days. At rest, however, in the middle of everything is the sun, For in this most beautiful temple, who would place this lamp in another or better position than that from which it can light up the whole at the same time. For the sun is called by some people the lantern of the universe, its mind by others and its ruler by still others. Copernicus begins his cycle of observations of the planets with Mars.

Extractions: Copenicus attended the parish school of St. John in Torun, and then was sent by his uncle to the school in Wloclawek. From 1491 to 1495 he studied at the University of Krakow, which was then the centre of humanist thought and astronomic studies. He studied both mathematics and classical disciplines, as well as astronomy. In 1496 his uncle Watzenrode sent Nicolaus and his brother to study Law at the University of Bologna. Nicolaus undertook Greek studies and astronomy (Copernicus's further research in the latter discipline must have been inspired by his contacts with an Italian astronomer Domenico Maria de Novara). He returned to Poland for several months, and then left for Italy again to pursue Medicine at Padua while continuing to read Law. In 1503 he was awarded the Doctor of Canon Law degree at the University of Ferrara.

Extractions: Introduction Archimedes Aristotle Nicolaus Copernicus ... Isaac Newton Nicolaus Copernicus Copernicus was born in 1473 in the city of Torun in Royal Prussia, Poland. His father Nikolas, a citizen of Krakow (at that time the capital of Poland), moved there in 1460 and became a respected citizen of Torun as well, once the war with Teutonic Knights was over. He was ten years of age when his father, a wealthy businessman and copper trader, died. Little is known of his mother, Barbara Watzenrode, but she appears to have predeceased her husband. His maternal uncle, Lucas Watzenrode, a church canon and later the Prince-Bishop governor of Warmia, raised him and his three other siblings after the death of Copernicus' father. His brother Andrew became canon in Frombork. A sister, Barbara, became a Benedictine nun and the other sister, Katharina, married a businessman and city councillor, Barthel Gertner. In 1491 Copernicus entered the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, and here he encountered astronomy for the first time, thanks to his teacher Albert Brudzewski. This science soon fascinated him, as his books (stolen by Swedes during The Deluge, and now in Uppsala's library) show. After four years and a brief stay in Torun, he moved to Italy, where he studied law and medicine at the universities of Bologna and Padua. His uncle financed his education and wished for him to become a bishop as well. However, while studying canon and civil law at Ferrara, he met his teacher Domenico Maria Novara da Ferrara, a famous astronomer. He followed his lessons and became a disciple and assistant.

Extractions: Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Torun, Poland on February 19, 1473, the youngest of four children. His mother came from a prominent family and his father was a successful merchant. He died while Copernicus was still a child and it was left to his mother's brother, Lucas Watzenrode, to oversee his upbringing and education. Watzenrode, who was a bishop, planned for his nephew to follow a course similar to his own and directed Copernicus toward the study of canon law. Though he was eventually bestowed with a doctorate in the field, Copernicus' own inclinations would lead him on another path, one that was not as palatable to the Church. Copernicus most likely developed his main theorythat the Earth and all of the other planets revolve around the sunsometime around 1508. Although, certain details regarding astronomy still could not easily be explained, Copernicus's heliocentric theory did at least provide a definite ordering of the planets. In 1512, he recorded a basic sketch of his system in a manuscript called Commentariolus . The work, which clearly stated in its axioms that the sun was the center of the universe, was originally circulated mainly among his friends. As his name and ideas began to further disseminate, Copernicus garnered a certain amount of fame and was invited to offer his opinion on various astronomical issues, such as how the calendar should be reformed to better correspond to planetary position. However, he was also subjected to ridicule and denigration. He was, for instance, the basis of a satirical play, and Martin Luther publicly referred to him as "the fool who will turn the whole science of astronomy upside down."

Extractions: The Scandal of the Ossiander Preface Nicolaus Copernicus was deathly ill at the time of the printing of his great book on the motions of the earth, De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium De Revolutionibus stating that the concept of the motion of the earth was merely a hypothesis put forward for the sake of easing astronomical calculations. The notion of the moving earth therefore did not need to be taken seriously as something that might actually be true. Ossiander represented the job of astronomy as merely reproducing observations, that is, successfully calculating the apparent location of planetary positions in the sky. This was known as "saving the appearances." Ossiander represented as impossible the task of discovering how the universe is laid out. Because Ossiander's preface was unsigned, it was widely considered to represent the views of the author of the book, Copernicus. Thus it was thought by most in succeeding years that Copernicus himself had not really believed that the earth could move. Thus Ossiander did Copernicus a great disservice. What Ossiander Wrote To the Reader Concerning the Hypotheses of this Work more than four times , and the body of the planet more than sixteen times, as great as at apogee? Yet this variation is refuted by the experience of every age. In this science there are some other no less important absurdities, which need not be set forth at the moment. For this art, it is quite clear, is completely and absolutely ignorant of the causes of the apparent nonuniform motions. And if any causes are devised by the imagination, as indeed very many are, they are not put forward to convince anyone that they are true, but merely to provide a reliable basis for computation. However, since different hypotheses are sometimes offered for one and the same motion (for example, eccentricity and an epicycle for the sun's motion), the astronomer will take as his first choice that hypothesis which is the easiest to grasp. The philosopher will perhaps rather seek the semblance of the truth. But neither of them will understand or state anything certain, unless it has been divinely revealed to him.

Extractions: Genesis 1:1-3 New International Version In the beginning, there was nothing. There was no time. There was no physical space. Then, suddenly, the universe came into existence. Theologians tell us that this is true. Scientists also tell us this is true. The Bible describes the event in language hauntingly similar to that of the cosmologists. "Let there be light." Light is energy. Quantum physics describes all matter in the universe as energy in one form or another. To science, the initial creation eventwhich many label the Big Banghad its beginnings in a violent expansion of pure energy. Suddenly, there was physical space. Suddenly, there was time. To some scientists who do not believe in God, the implications of the Big Bang are disquieting. How could the universe come into existence ex nihilo (out of nothing)? The Big Bang raises the issue of first causethe force that started it allwhich implies an outside power. One would think that the discoveries reflected in todays cosmology would give people of faith a reason to rejoice. After all, isnt the scientific community saying what Genesis has been telling us all along? But oddly enough, mainstream modern science is often met with suspicion, hostility, and even fear within the community of faith. Science and faith both seek to know the profound truths of life. Science concerns itself with answering the question of How? Faith is concerned with responding to the question of Why? Its not an easy task. The creation of the universe is shrouded in mystery. It is not only the expanse of time that clouds our view of the beginning. Whatever cataclysmic forces gave birth to all things also wiped out any evidence of their own beginnings. Any evidence of the origin of all things went out with a bang! So just what did happen back then? We try to gaze through the windows of geology, astronomy, the Bible, and the leftover energies of that time-distant occurrence, but the windows only give us a tantalizing glimpse.
