Nicolaus Copernicus was the astronomer who first proposed the heliocentric model of the solar system, where the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. His work "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres" laid the foundation for modern astronomy.
Nicholaus Copernicus first hypothesized that the sun is the center of the universe and planets revolve around it with his heliocentric model. Kepler discovered ellipses (the orbits of of the planets with the sun at one focus).
Galileo was amazed to find out that Jupiter had four large moons or satellites (now known as the Galilean moons) orbiting around it. This discovery challenged the geocentric view of the universe and provided strong evidence for the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus.
It was nicoholas capernicum ___________________________ The earliest known person to write that the Earth moved around the Sun was the Greek astronomer and mathematician, Aristarchus of Samos.
Galileo Galilei.
Galileo, I think.
Nicolaus Copernicus.
Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the idea that the Earth revolved around the Sun in his book "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" published in 1543. This heliocentric model of the solar system challenged the prevailing geocentric view of the time.
Yes because he went against the church. The church believed everything revolved around the Earth, but Galileo said everything revolved around the sun.

It said that the Earth was in the center and the Sun, Moon, and other planets revolved around it. But this theory was wrong.
He said the world orbited the sun, people didnt like this because they believed everything revolved around us, earth!
I think it would depend on who you asked. A serf might say life revolved about his lord. The lord might say life revolved around the king. The king might have said live revolved around the pope. And a pope might have said life properly revolved around the congregation, which was mostly made up of serfs.
The main reason was religious teaching. Christian teaching said that since Christ came to Earth, it must be the center of the universe and all revolved around the Earth. It took a long time to come to an agreement about this idea.
Some Greeks about 2500 years ago. Ignored until about 1500 (Copernicus, Galileo, Americus [he was making globes before Columbus]).
