410th Anniversary of Death
Of Copernicus Observed
By J. HUGH PRUETT
(Aitrooomer. Ixtemloa Dlvliton. Or..oD Htfbcr Eduction Syleml
From the Polish Embassy in
Washington, D.C., comes a lit
tle folder entitled "Copernicus
Year, with the announcement
that they have "the honor to
call to your attention the
world-wide commemoration in
1953 of the 410th anniversary
of the death of the great Polish
astroi.onicr, Nicholas' Copcrni
cus. Because Poland was under
Nazi occupation, it was unable
to commemorate the 400th an
niversary in 1943."
It was Copernicus' book on
the "Revolutions of Celestial
Bodies," published in the year
of his death, 1543, that gave
the initial impulse which in
time actually turned scientific
acceptance away from the cen-
turies-old Ptolemaic theory
that our earth was the immov
able center of the universe.
Several ancient Greek schol
ars, notably Pythagoras and
Aristarchus, believed in the
daily rotation of the earth and
its annual encirclement of the
sun, yet their teachings failed
to start a general trend toward
new ideas. Later about A.D.
150, the noted and influential
Ptolemy added links to the
cham of the prevailing theory
which firmly bound the earth

E3 v-LV3
A Jane Russell sexy
dance routine, above, has
caused the film industry's
Breen Office to refuse its
seal of approval to the film
"French Line," made by
Howard Hughes. Hughes
has announced he will re
lease the film anyway, while
a spokesman for the Breen
office the film industry's
own censorship board says
the dance scenes will "cer
theater where the movie is
tainly bring the cops" to any
shown. Hughes figures the
scenes will also bring plen
ty of customers (AP Wire-photo)
for considerably over 1000
years longer.
According to the Ptolemaic
theory, all the stars are at
tached to the surface of a crys
talline sphere which revolves
westward in silence and majes
ty around the stationary central
earth. The sun, moon, and plan
ets have, in addition to the gen
eral motion of this sperc, more
complicated movements east
ward which make them appear
to wander slowly among the
"foxed" stars. It taxed the in
genuity of the ancient astrono
mers to devise circles upon cir
cles with which to explain the
observed planetary journeys.
Copernicus acknowledged that
the starry heavens seemed to
encircle the earth daily, yet he
belived it far simpler to assume
that actually the earth does the
turning. He showed that the
complicated loops apparently
made among the stars by the
planets during a year are eas
ily explained by assuming the
earth is one of the planets and
that all revolve in smooth
curves and constantly in the
same general direction around
the sun. He based his belief up
on the reasonableness of this
theory, for he lacked entirely
our many standard proofs of
the earth s rotation on its axis
and its revolution around the
sun. He had faith that the fu
ture would produce ample evi
dence it did.
A general discussion of the
Copernican theory is interest
ing, yet for real life, charm,
and personality one must read
the original writings of this
noted Polish scholar. His argu
ments are given step by step so
skillfully and logically and
yet so simply that a strong
admiration and agreement ts
the natural reaction. His was
no ordinary intellect, but hard
working, powerful and amaz
ing. Translations of some of
his writings are given in Snap
ley and Howarth's Source Book
in Astronomy. This may be
found in any large library.
