__** Nicolaus Copernicus **__
 * Hello may I introduce myself. My name is Nikolaus Copernicus.
 * I was born on 19 February 1473, in Torun In Royal Russia in the Crown kingdom of Poland.
 * I was a Mathematican and Astronomer.
 * I was actualy the first one who said that the sun is in the middle of our galaxy and all the other planets go around it.
 * Unfortunately, all of my collegues said that the earth is in the middle of the universe and all the other planets turn around the earth.
 * My father died when I was ten years old.
 * So my uncle took over the responsebillity for me and made sure that I got a good education.
 * I studied Maths and Astronomy in the year of 1491-1494 in Krakau.
 * Afterwards I moved to Italy to study medicine.
 * In that time I already discovered the wish to become an astronomer.
 * At around 1507 I started to explore the universe and made a theory called "Commentariolus". That theory was about the sun being in the middle of our universe and all the other planets turning around it in circles.
 * I return back to Poland to my uncle who has been promoted to be a Bishop of Ermland now.
 * After my uncle dies in 1512 I move to Freiburg.
 * In that time I am working really hard on my new project called: De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium.
 * This project is about the movement of the planets.
 * That project was finished in 1530.
 * Im very proud that many Astronomers still use my project today, to know even more about the earth and beyond.
 * I died in the on the 24.5.1543 after my Project was published.
 * I think that I was definetly the most important person in the Renaissance because I changed all science about Astronomy completely because before I lived, nobody found out about that the planets turn around the sun. Without me the world wouldn't be as far as it is now.
 * In six years, in the 21. century, Astronomers will still use my studies to make new explorations in the outer space
 * I got my information from the fantastic website: []a member the "ART DIRECTORY".http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Nikolaus_Kopernikus.jpg/220px-Nikolaus_Kopernikus.jpg
