Who did Nicholas Copernicus leave behind when he died in his family?

Who is copernicium named after?
The name copernicium is derived from the name of the well known Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus.
Who was Nicolas Copernius?
Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer and mathematician who lived from 1473 to 1543. He designed a model of the solar system that correctly placed the sun at the center of the universe rather than the Earth, as was previously believed.
What error did Nicolaus Copernicus make in one area of astronomy?
Tolosani claimed Copernicus made his biggest error by using "inferior" fields of study to make statements about the "superior" fields. Copernicus used Math and Astronomy to postulate about Physics and Cosmology. Others used principles of Physics and Cosmology to determine principles of Math and Astronomy. Tolosani felt Copernicus was undermining the entire system of science. He said Copernicus fell into philosophical error because he was not knowledgeable in physics and logic. To him, anyone who did not know physics and logic would be unable to make a good astronomer, and not be able to tell truth from falsehood. A simpler answer: Copernicus thought the planets moved in circular orbits. Kepler later showed they move in elliptical orbits.
How do you spell Copernicus?
The correct spelling is, indeed, Copernicus.
