Nicolaus Copernicus was a true Renaissance man. He also was a lawyer, tax collector, a doctor, military governor, judge, vicar-general of canon law and a Polish astronomer. Nicolaus Copernicus said that the earth was not stationary. He also said the earth turned on its axis once a day and he doubted the earth lay in the middle of the universe. He claimed that the sun was the center of the universe and all the planets revolved around the sun. He also published a book on the revolution of the heavenly bodies. His book De Revolutions was his most famous piece of work.
Nicolaus Copernicus' father was a merchant, and his mother was the daughter of a (wealthy) merchant. As they lived in the 15th century, they fit "appropriately" into society of the time and the locale (Royal Prussia) where they resided. This almost certainly means that Copernicus' mother did not "work" or have a "professional" life, per se.

Nicholas Copernicus's most notable work was his heliocentric theory, which proposed that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun, contrary to the prevailing geocentric model. This groundbreaking idea revolutionized the field of astronomy and laid the foundation for modern understanding of the universe.
