Nicolaus Copernicus Nicolaus Copernicus was a Renaissance-era Polish astronomer who first formulated a comprehensive heliocentric model of the solar system in his landmark work De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (1543), published in the year of his death. His assertion that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun displaced millennia of Ptolemaic geocentric cosmology and triggered the "Copernican Revolution" — arguably the founding moment of modern science. His model was later refined by Kepler and confirmed by Galileo's telescopic observations.
