At Jagiellonian University, a room I really liked was Copernicus's room. I found the globe that he made very interesting. Copernicus used his astrology background to map out where he thought all the continents will be in the future. The idea that he could map out the countries using geometry and a compass seems so crazy to me. He had no clue what the future would look like, but by using science he was able to predict a somewhat accurate world.

  1. It was really interesting that they were able to figure out this stuff without even going to space in my opinion. I thought it was cool how that globe showed America so close to India.

  2. I agree! I didn't know much about him until the tour. I also thought it was cool that the globe showed America way south of where it currently is and wasn't even shaped like it is now.
