Nicolaus Copernicus portrait
Nicolaus Copernicus (Mikolaj Kopernik) was a polish cosmographer and astronomer who proposed a heliocentric representation of the heavens or “Sun-centred,” system—derived from the Greek helios, meaning “Sun.” Copernicus’s theory had important consequences for later thinkers of the scientific revolution, including such major figures as Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, and Newton.
