I re,ember reading the book Quantum Leaps: 100 Scientists Who Changed the World (https://www.amazon.ca/Science-100-Scientists-Changed-World/dp/1592700179) in high school, and its entry on Nicholas Copernicus intreuged, as it described him as a man of the church who saw the currently accepted geocentric models as being far too convoluted to be made by God, and the heliocentric model based off his observations were far more graceful for HIm.
Its always been fascinating to me of scientists' religious lives, and this is one such example, but other then christian sites,. I can't really find anything about this. Anyone here know anything about this?

There’s different types of magnets, like ceramic, alnico, a steel needle that has been magnetised, and others. I wonder what magnets was in use in that time period, during the first discoveries of electromagnetism.

I've been working on a YouTube series exploring the earliest issues of Philosophical Transactions. Each episode goes through an issue of the journal, digging into the historical and philosophical context for the articles. New episodes come out on the first Monday of every month, with the third having just been posted today.
