Nikolaus Kopernikus
Nikolaus Kopernikus was a Renaissance-era mathematician and astronomer born in Toruń, Poland, in 1473. He is best known for formulating the heliocentric model of the universe, which proposed that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun, challenging the long-held geocentric view. His groundbreaking work, 'De revolutionibus orbium coelestium' (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), published in 1543, laid the foundation for modern astronomy and significantly influenced subsequent scientific thought. Kopernikus' ideas were pivotal in the Scientific Revolution, marking a shift from medieval to modern science.
