Photo Of The Day

PHOTO OF THE DAY: Another personal project designed to capture and post one photo a day for the next 365 days. The photo may be the most ordinary to the most sublime. Whatever it might be, it is sure to be a slice of my day viewed by my eyes as worthy of capturing for posterity.

    A bust of Copernicus graces the grounds of the Detroit Public Library.  Don't miss the blooming forsythia on either side.

    Copernicus

    Wiki tells us this:  Nicolaus Copernicus (19 February 1473 – 24 May 1543) was a Renaissance astronomer and the first person to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology which displaced the Earth from the center of the universe.  Copernicus' epochal book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), published just before his death in 1543, is often regarded as the starting point of modern astronomy and the defining epiphany that began the scientific revolution.
