Polish archeologists believe they have located the grave of 16th-century astronomer and solar-system proponent Nicolaus Copernicus in a Polish church, one of the scientists said yesterday.
Copernicus, who died in 1543 at the age of 70 after challenging the ancient belief that the sun revolved around the Earth, was buried at the Roman Catholic cathedral in the city of Frombork, 290 kilometres north of the capital, Warsaw. AP
