Known for his revolutionary heliocentric model, Copernicus challenged the long-standing geocentric views of Aristotle and Ptolemy, positioning the Sun, rather than the Earth, at the center of the universe. The text explores the historical and cultural context of 15th and 16th-century Europe, amidst the backdrop of humanism, the Protestant Reformation, and the discovery of the New World. It highlights Copernicus's education, career, and the profound impact of his work on future astronomers such as Galileo, Kepler, and Newton. Intended for readers interested in the history of science and the transformative period of the Copernican revolution, the book underscores Copernicus's role in altering humanity's understanding of the cosmos.Generated by AI.History Copernicus History Heliocentric astrologyGenerated by AIDiscoveries in scienceGenerated by AIHeliocentric astrology.Discoveries in science.minutes 501088644MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910163399003321Copernicus2863345UNINA
