Nicolaus Copernicus Story

Nicolaus Copernicus was born on the year 1473 He

was born in Torun, Poland. He is currently 45 years old. When

copernicus was 10 years old, his father had died. His uncle, a Catholic

bishop, became his guardian. His uncle made sure that he received

good education. He went to attend Poland’s University of Krakow. Then

he went to Italy to study medicine and church law. He rented rooms at

an astronomy teacher’s house which is where he discovered he was

fascinated by astronomy. He is always called the father of modern

astronomy. He is a very skilled in mathematics and observation. We

made an interview with him. He said “I use to be called the father of

astronomy”. He was a free thinker, unafraid to question accepted

beliefs.He studied the motion of planets and printed a booklet that

outlined his theory. He tried to persuade people that the earth rotates

around the sun because everyone said that everything rotates around

the Earth because it is the center of the universe.

Nicolaus Copernicus was the great at
astronomy .
He struggled to teach everyone his hypothesis
Like everyone who was around him, he had
been taught that the Earth was the center of the

universe. According to this idea, the sun, stars, and planets traveled
around the Earth. When he was studying the motion of the planets, he
became dissatisfied with this explanation.

He tried to make it clear that the Earth rotates, or turns, on its axis.
He began the years of work on a full-length book. In 1514, it was
when he printed his book. He called his book On the Revolutions of
the Celestial Spheres. He dedicated his book to the pope. However,
the idea of Earth traveling around the sun went against the church’s
belief that God had placed humans at the center of the universe. In
1616, the church forbade people to read Copernicus’s book. Despite
the church’s disapproval, Copernicus’s theory had a major influence
on a few key scientists. In conclusion, I think that Nicolaus
Copernicus was one of the best astronomers in the renaissance
period.

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo was born in 1452. Leonardo da Vinci was born in a
village near Florence. As a teen, Leonardo trained in Florence
under a master sculptor and painter . Leonardo had studied the
music art and the main, he then had got inspired by other artists.
He had then started to study about the the studies of how the
body had work.he had the filled cavities like the brain and the
heart with a wax and made the plaster coats of them. The biceps
had provided the particular fascination when he then discovered
the muscle was then responsible for the both bending the elbow
and turning the palm of the hand upwards. At the time he had
believed that the heart had a source of the vital spirit it the heated
blood and then flowed through the body carrying the vital spirits.
One of his drawings had contained one obvious mistake which
was in the placenta is more appropriate for the cow then a
woman. Leonardo had then visited the slaughterhouses when he
had viewed the killing pigs. The technique used was of the
shrusting skewer into the heart.during the visit he had then was
able to observe that the beat of the heart had coincided with the
movement of the blood into the main arteries. He had then made
a glass model of the heart so he can then examine it into more
details and had left us with a lot more excellent drawings of the
things he had observed.

He had did some practical work in the anatomy of the dissection
table in Malian,then in the hospital in Florence and Rome, and is
pavin. Then he had collaborated with the physician- anatomist
Marcantonio della torre. When blood flows through the vortices it
plays a role in closing the aortic valve. He also had investigate
embryology, the values of the heart, and he had designed heads he
had also made little landscapes drawings. Leonardo’s investigation of
the heart has been shown alongside in a real time MRI scan on the
blood flowing through the aortic valve then confirming that Leonardo’s
description was mostly correct. These are a few reasons why I think
Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the most important people in the
renaissance time period.

The life of

Isabella I

Isabella was born in Madrigal on April 22,1451, Isabella was
the daughter of John his second wife, Isabella of Portugal, and
was half sister of Henry IV,who succeeded to the Castilian throne
in 1454.Henry had recognized Isabella as his heir over the claims
of his daughter Juana, whose royal paternity was questioned by
the King’s opponents, but when Isabella married Ferdinand of
Aragon in 1469, Henry conferred the succession on Juana.Her
reforms and those she made with her husband had an influence
that extended well beyond the borders of their united
kingdoms.Isabella and Ferdinand are known for completing the
Reconquista,ordering conversion or exile of their Muslim and
Jewish subjects in the spanish Inquisition.When Henry died in
1474, Isabella immediately claimed the throne.Earlier in
1492-the same year in which Isabella agreed to subsidize
Columbus’s first voyage-the Catholic Monarchs had ordered the
expulsion of all unbaptized Castilian Jews, nearly 150,000 in
all.Isabella had five children. The marriage of daughter Catherine
of Aragon to Henry VII of England eventually resulted in the
controversy leading to the Catholic Monarchs,the most
significant of which was the reconquest of the Peninsula from
the Moorish kingdom of Granada.Begun in 1481,the war lasted
until 1492, ending in a complete Spanish victory.

Isabella’s parents were John II of Castile, Isabella of Portugal and
Queen of Castile.Her siblings she had were Henry IV of
Castile,Alfonso, and Prince of Asturias. She helped discover America.
It was with Isabella’s backing that Christopher Columbus was able to
afford his voyage to the New World. Not only did this bring wealth to
spain, but the lands discovered were now owned by Castile. When
Native Americans were brought back as slaves, Isabella demanded
that they be set free. Isabella was the first women on the US coin. In
1893, 400 years after Columbus’s fateful voyage, a coin was issued
in the United States that featured Isabella’s image that same year she
also became the first women featured on a commemorative US
postage stamp, when she was featured alongside Columbus on the
eight cent stamp. Isabella was a mature student. Isabella championed
education, making sure both her sons and her daughters receive a
full education. She also set up many adulthood and learned Latin
when she was 35 years old. She had a famous daughter named
Joanna nicknamed “Joanna the mad”for her mental instability.
However, her daughter Catherine of Aragon went on to become the
wife of Henry VIII,making Isabella the grandmother of mary I of
England. This was how Isabella’s life ended up before she died.
