I am looking for Web sites of university or college where he studied
astronomy.

In 1491, Copernicus was sent off to Cracow University, where he
pursued a course of general studies for four years before
traveling to Italy to study law and medicine, as was common
practice among Polish elites at the time.

While studying at the University of Bologna (where he would
eventually become a professor of astronomy) Copernicus boarded
at the home of Domenico Maria de Novara, the renowned
mathematician of whom Copernicus would ultimately become a
disciple. Novara was a critic of Ptolomy, whose second-century
astronomy he regarded with skepticism.

In november of 1500, Copernicus observed a lunar eclipse in
Rome. Although he spent the next few years in Italy studying
medicine, he never lost his passion for astronomy.

After receiving a degree of Doctor of Canon Law, Copernicus
practiced medicine at the episcopal court of Keilsberg, where
his uncle lived. Royalty and high clergy requested his medical
services, but Copernicus spent most of his time in service of
the poor.

In 1503, he returned to Poland and moved into his uncle's
bishopric place in Lidzbark Warmiknsky. There he tended to
administrative matters of the diocese, as well as serving as an
advisor to his uncle.

I know of Copernicus through the technical details of planetary
dynamics which you and the rest of the empiricists refuse to accept
even when time lapse footage of the Earth overtaking Jupiter and
Saturn consigns the stupid perspective of Newton, in regards to
apparent retrogrades and their resolution, to nothing more than a
mathematician trying to appear like an astronomer -

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap011220.html

I could understand the reasons why Newton chose to look at retrogrades
from the predicting/modelling agenda but it will always amount to a
distortion that is effectively worthless,be the schem be ever so
elaborate -

" For to the earth planetary motions appear sometimes direct,
sometimes stationary, nay, and sometimes retrograde. But from the sun
they are always seen direct," Newton

That statement by the mathematician Newton is actually
forgivable ,given that it looks right even though it isn't,what is
unconscionable is that presently,with the aid of modern imaging,not a
single person has affirmed that Copernicus got retrogrades and their
resolution right leaving Newton's dumb view nowhere.This is why I can
say with certainty that people must absolutely hate astronomy for no
intelligent person could watch this intellectual holocaust happen.

There you go Sam,work gets done whether people are responsive or not,
and only out generation will be hated if it does not correct what
needs to be corrected and move on to productive investigations.

On Mar 18, 11:42*am, oriel36 tells us that
Newton said:

" For to the earth planetary motions appear sometimes direct,
sometimes stationary, nay, and sometimes retrograde. But from the sun
they are always seen direct," Newton

After all these years you still continue to claim that there is
something wrong with this statement, but there isn't. All Newton is
saying is that from the surface of the earth we see retrograde motion
(and we all know why this is true, even you know this). From the earth
the planets sometimes appear to move in retrograde among the stars,
for a short time they appear to stand still, and the rest of the time
they move prograde, just like they do in that APOD video you like to
show, no problem. Newton knew this as well as you or I do, he knew
that this motion was only *apparent* from earth's surface because of
the relative speeds of the bodies involved as each travels around the
sun at different rates.

Newton just took his observations one step further, and declared that
if one were to be standing on the sun (and we all know this is
impossible, but it is, after all, only a mind experiment) that one
would not see any apparent retrograde, because from the sun there is
no relative motion, the sun will always stand still with respect to
the planets, they all go around the sun in direct motion, and never
appear to go backwards.

What the heck is so hard to understand about this? Little kids can be
taught this with relative ease.

For once, learn something.

Query: on what basis was "he" evaluated as Nicolaus Copernicus? The
posting does not appear to contain sufficient data for the pronoun to
be assigned a referent.

Correct. As can be gleaned by the recent posting history of the
wormbot,
postings are randomized by the bot. It's actually a simple function
call:

#define _SAA "sci.astro.amateur"

post(Usenet, _SAA, pull(asshole(random()));
