Lost, and Found
In this image provided by the Kronenberg Foundation in Warsaw, a computer-generated reconstruction shows what astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus may have looked like on the basis of a skull discovered in the cathedral in Frombork, northern Poland. Polish and Swedish researchers said Thursday they have identified the remains of Nicolaus Copernicus by comparing DNA from a skeleton they have found with that taken from hair retrieved from one of the 16th-century astronomer's books. | Discovery News Video
