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.$7Generated by AI. 410 0$aHistory 517 $aCopernicus 517 $aHistory 606 $aHeliocentric astrology$7Generated by AI 606 $aDiscoveries in science$7Generated by AI 615 0$aHeliocentric astrology. 615 0$aDiscoveries in science. 700 $aminutes$b 50$01088644 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163399003321 996 $aCopernicus$92863345 997 $aUNINA
