The great mind that discovered earth wasn't the center of the universe was finally found. I finding his body put a rest to all the speculation as to
where Copernicus had died. There is a computer generated picture of him in the source. I just uploaded this on comparing what he looks like in the
projected image vs what we thought he looked like.
