Did Copernicus die of a stroke?
Copernicus was suffering an awful stroke and couldn't defend himself any longer. While he was on his death bed, he saw his published book and died peacefully at 70 years 3 months and 5 days of age! He is still known today as the founder of modern astronomy. RIP Nicholaus Copernicus, you will always be remembered.
What was the most notable about nicolaus Copernicus' work?
He challenged the theory which was then accepted that the earth is at the centre of everything (geocentric theory) with the sun, moon, planets and stars orbiting it. He replaced it with the theory that the sun was at the centre (heliocentric theory), which greatly irritated the Catholic Church.

What was Nicholas Copernicus remembered for?
Dude sat in his back yard and said "whoa those other dudes are wrong. The earth is moving around the sun, the sun isn't going around earth. Oops I shouldn't have figured that out, they are going to kill me."
