| - Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish astronomer, best known for his model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at its center.
- Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish Renaissance scientist who was known for heliocentrism, i.e. the theory that the earth and the other planets of the solar system orbited the sun. In 1955, Doc had a dog named after this famous scientist.
- Nicolaus Copernicus (1473 – 1543), also known as Niccolò Copernico, was a Renaissance astronomer, mathematician, and priest. He was the first person to present a correct model of Heliocentrism.
- Nicolaus Copernicus, born February 19, 1473, died May 24, 1543. Copernicus is famous for his discovery that the sun is the center of the solar system. Copernicus was one of the first to try and say that the sun is the center of the solar system, because the catholic church believed that the Earth was the center of everything. Copernicus was forced to, like Galileo, deny his discovery due to the fact that he would be tortured.
- Nicolaus Copernicus (19 February 1473 – 24 May 1543) was a Polish astronomer. His major contribution to the field was De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium, in which he laid out his proof that the Earth and other planets revolved around the Sun.
- Copernicus was born in Krakow, Poland, long before it was known as the "#1 Tourist Destination of German Jews" (Tourism claim based on survey of German High Command- October 1944, Rudolf Hess absent from vote, on vacation in England.) Copernicus or "Coper" as his schoolmates called him, began his work on human anatomy in his sophomore year at Itzhak Stern Sr. High. Constantly bullied by bigger, Russian transfer students, Copernicus learned to kick his enemies in the balls, but began to wonder- what is it about testicles that makes the kicking, punching, and freezing hurt so much? Nights, weekends, and holidays, Copernicus became dedicated to touching his balls. He also held experiments with other guys' nuts which included roasting, hanging, and slicing. When his subjects got too close to h
- Nicolaus Copernicus (February 19, 1473 – May 24, 1543) was the first astronomer to formulate a scientifically-based heliocentric cosmology that displaced the Earth from the center of the universe. His epochal book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), is often regarded as the starting point of modern astronomy and the defining epiphany that began the Scientific Revolution.

- He was one of six Human astronomers honored with a monument located in front of the Griffith Observatory, the others being Hipparchus, Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton and William Herschel. The statue furthermore featured a plaque commemorating the 500th Anniversary of the "father of modern astronomy". (VOY: "Future's End")
- Copernicus is mentioned in the third season Dinosaurs episode "Charlene's Flat World," not in connection with heliocentrism, but the "flat earth" theory. A Muse gives Charlene Sinclair the revelation that the earth is round like an orange, by mistake, and thus Copernicus' striking discovery becomes a plate of fudge-nut brownies.
