Nicholas Copernicus was the astronomer who, five centuries ago , explained that Earth revolves around the sun, rather than vice versa.

He also practiced as a mathematician, engineer, author, economic theorist and medical doctor.

Upon his death in 1543 in Frombork , Poland , he was buried in the local cathedral.

In 2006 , a new source of DNA reference material came to life.

An astronomical reference book containing hair was found to contain hair among the pages of a book taken to Sweden as war booty following the Swedish invasion of Poland in mid-17th century .

Remains discovered near the Altar of the Holy Cross in Frombork Cathedral are highly likely to be those of Nicholas Copernicus .

This monumental find sheds light on the final resting place of one of the most influential figures in the history of science.

It showcases the depth and sophistication of modern scientific methods in corroborating historical data.
