Georg Joachim Rheticus
Georg Joachim Rheticus was a 16th-century mathematician and astronomer, best known as the student and supporter of Nicolaus Copernicus. He played a critical role in the development and publication of Copernicus's groundbreaking work, 'De revolutionibus orbium coelestium', by not only assisting in its preparation but also advocating for its release. Rheticus's visit to Copernicus in Frauenburg marked a pivotal moment in the history of astronomy, as he brought valuable observational data and helped clarify the heliocentric model that would eventually revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos.
