The UNESCO proclaimed the year 1973 as Copernicus Year. Polish immigrants in Denmark, who left the Polish People’s Republic between 1969–1973, with the encouragement of the Editor-in-chief of the newspaper „Chronicle” in Copenhagen, took the initiative to celebrate the great jubilee and arranged a symposium. The main paper, by Professor Leon Koczy (Glasgow), was about Copernicus and the excellent Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe. Participants of the symposium also had the opportunity to listen to five other papers and to take part in a long discussion. The second day of the symposium was dedicated to Polish and international music – a mass was celebrated in memory of Polish scientists and artists who had perished or been killed, followed by a classical music concert performed by immigrant master-musicians. The jubilee celebration in Denmark was under the patronage of Edward Raczyński, Polish ambassador to the UK and one of the Polish political leaders in exile. For the new immigration this was the first great step in their new life, because the symposium was in support of WWII combatant emigration and the President of the Polish Republic in exile.

The author analyses Copernicus’s ideas described in De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (1543) and the different view of the universe put forward by the excellent Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546–1601). Elias Olsen Morsing (1550–1590), a collaborator of Tycho Brahe, was sent to Frombork (Frauenburg) in 1584 to take the same measurements as Copernicus, but with his own, much better, instruments. The idea was to compare the new measurements with those taken by Copernicus. The expedition was a success. Morsing was able to detect certain errors in Copernicus’s measurements, and the scope of these errors. While in Frombork, Morsing received a primitive astronomical instrument and a portrait of Copernicus as gifts from canon Jan Hannovius. The author of this paper notes the Catholic Church’s scepticism about Copernicus’s theory of the universe, while acknowledging that both Copernicus and Brahe had deep faith in God and shared the belief that they owed their learning and achievement to God.

The article outlines the book culture of the Rudolphine period on the examples of several works by Tycho Brahe (Instruments of the Renewed Astronomy), Johannes Kepler (Somnium: The Dream, or Posthumous Work on Lunar Astronomy; Conversation with the Starry Messenger) and Galileo Galilei (The Starry Messenger). It is based on both research outcomes that have already been published and those that are being prepared for printing.
