Two hairs and a tooth make it possible to locate the tomb of Copernicus [20/11/08 - 16:54 PM - AFP]

Studying the DNA code of two hair and one tooth has enabled Polish and Swedish researchers to obtain the certainty that the remains found in 2005 in Frombork (northern Poland) are indeed those of the astronomer Nicolas Copernicus .

The author of the heliocentric theory in the 1473th century, Nicolas Copernicus, was born in Torun (northern Poland) in 70. He died XNUMX years later in Frombork, but until now it was unknown where astronomer was buried, along with the exact date of his death.

During excavations in Frombork Cathedral in 2005, Professor Jerzy Gassowski, from the Polish Institute of Anthropology and Archeology in Pultusk (center), discovered a skull and some bones which he attributed with "a great probability" to Copernicus.

"We are now certain that the skull discovered in Frombork is that of Nicolas Copernicus," Gassowski told reporters on Thursday, presenting the results of the latest research.

This research made it possible to find hair that could have been that of Copernicus, and to compare their DNA code with that of the remains of Frombork.

Hi Christopher,

Fun, but you could have done it a little younger :D

I knew this painted portrait (Wiki source)

Resembling? a little for the nose, but not too much for the eyes.

Hey normal Remundo!

When you start from the skull of a dead man you restore the appearance before his death : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen:

Now ... I don't know how they found out about the crooked "nose" ...

As for the large chin which is visibly inspired by the portrait (besides according to the photo, the jaw of the skeleton is missing).

After Copernicus, here is that Galileo is talking about him!

The Vatican wants to reissue the acts of the Galileo trial to "refresh the memory" of those who accuse the Catholic Church of having condemned the famous physicist (1564-1642) for his theses on the universe, the agency reported on Tuesday Ansa.

"Galileo Galilei has never been condemned," Archbishop Gianfranco Ravasi, president of the Pontifical Council for Culture, on the eve of the opening of a congress organized by the Vatican on "science 400 years after Galileo ".

A reissue of the acts of the trial will "refresh the memory" of those who affirm the contrary and still demand "repentance" from the Vatican, he added.

Galileo's condemnation to prison, pronounced in 1633 by the Inquisition after a long trial in which he risked a conviction at the stake, was never signed by Pope Urban VIII.
