Nicolaus Copernicus
Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) was a Renaissance mathematician and astronomer who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at its center. His groundbreaking work, 'De revolutionibus orbium coelestium,' published in 1543, is often credited with initiating the Scientific Revolution. Copernicus' heliocentric theory challenged the long-held geocentric views and laid the foundations for modern astronomy, influencing future scientists such as Kepler and Galileo.
