What point are you trying to make, exactly, by showing the (heretical) Episcopalian church prayers which honor Copernicus and Kepler?
Are you perhaps thinking of switching your religious affiliation to that which honors Copernicus and Kepler?

If someone had told me that the Episcopalians had this liturgy in use and this "Feast Day" on their calendar, I would not have believed it. So I posted it here FYI. These two men were obviously not Episcopalians. So why would they be on their calendar like this, as of 2009, no less? ("This Commemoration adopted provisionally at General Convention 2009.")

Apparently the Episcopalians have something in common with the Eastern Orthodox -- namely that they have no way of pronouncing someone a "Saint" as we do in the Roman Catholic Church. (Recent bad examples not withstanding). But in the former's case, that doesn't seem to stop them from having "Feast Days" for individuals they deem deserving of same but for reasons unspecified. Or, is being a "key figure in the scientific revolution" or "displacing the earth in the center of the universe" a good enough reason to hold a Feast Day?

I'm surprised no one has asked a
particular question, however.
