21. Nicolaus Copernicus Museum In Frombork But, as the Bible tells us, Joshua told the Sun, not the Earth, to stop in its path!”georg joachim von Lauchen (rheticus), arrives at Frombork and begins http://www.frombork.art.pl/Ang12.htm

De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium, Book 1, Chapter X The first and the highest of all is the sphere of the fixed stars, which contains itself and everything, and is therefore immovable. It is unquestionably the place of the universe, to which the motion and position of all the other heavenly bodies are compared... 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.

23. La Storia Dell'associazione Rheticus Translate this page L'associazione venne intitolata a georg joachim rheticus, il grande astronomoaustriaco del Cinquecento, unico discepolo del grande Copernico. http://www.comune.feltre.bl.it/associazioni/rheticus/pagine/storia.html

La Storia dell'Associazione Astronomica Feltrina "Rheticus" il nucleo storico del GAF fu completo. Con i piccoli strumenti a disposizione, ma utilizzati al meglio, servendosi anche di semplici macchine fotografiche, i sei cominciarono a osservare, in collaborazione con astronomi di Padova, le stelle variabili e le novae. Durante le prove di controllo di un programma di ricerca fotografica di novae, fu effettuata una prescoperta di una nova nella costellazione dello Scudo. Nel 1989 il GAF cambiò nome e diventò Associazione Astronomica Feltrina Rheticus, sia perché il gruppo era ormai cresciuto, diventando un sodalizio con circa 60 soci, sia perché il termine "astrofili" non piaceva e veniva spesso frainteso dalla gente. L'associazione venne intitolata a Georg Joachim Rheticus, il grande astronomo austriaco del Cinquecento, unico discepolo del grande Copernico. HOME

Johann Praetorius hat in einem in der Muenchner Bibliothek aufbewahrten Schriftstuecke diese Mittheilungen ergaenzt. Praetorius war es, der 1573 in Wittenberg den Otho auf Rhaeticus hinwies."

Following the favourable reception of the Narratio Prima ,the Nuremberg printer Johannes Petreius asked Georg Joachim Rheticus to secure the printing of Copernicus' next work. Bearing books from the Petreius press as gifts, Rheticus made a trip to Frombork, which was successful. In 1542, Rheticus began supervising the publication of the De Revolutionibus in Nuremberg with Petreius, though he left before its completion to take up a post at the University of Leipzig. When it was finally published in March 1543, the De Revolutionibus contained an anonymous letter to the reader and two additional words to the title, celestium orbium ('of the celestial orbs'), which neither the author or Rheticus had intended.

Astronomical Tables General Pages Home Index Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543) Regarded as one of the central figures of the so-called Scientific Revolution, Copernicus (1473-1543) postulated a heliostatic theory in his De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (1543). He did, however, maintain that planetary orbits were circular, and many believed that his system did not reflect the physical universe. Born in Torun, Poland, in 1473, Copernicus first studied astronomy and astrology at the University of Cracow (1491-94). Through his uncle, Lukas Watzenrode (1447-1512), who later became the bishop of Varmia (Ermland), he was elected a canon of the cathedral chapter of Frombork (Frauenburg). As part of his requirement as a canon, he matriculated in 1496 in the University of Bologna to study both canon and civil law. There, he lodged with and worked as an assistant to Domenico Maria the Ferrarese of Novara (1454-1504), professor of mathematics and astrology and also the official compiler of prognostications for the university. After briefly returning to Frombork, Copernicus studied medicine at the University of Padua (1501-3) and then moved on to the University of Ferrara where he obtained a doctorate in Canon Law (1503). He then returned to Varmia, where he was based for the rest of his life. He acted as medical advisor and secretary to his uncle at Heilsberg, and was later heavily involved with the administrative tasks in the diocese of Frombork.
