More information:

Nicolaus Copernicus (19 February 1473 – 24 May 1543), polyglot and polymath was a Renaissance mathematician, physician, classics scholar, translator, governor, diplomat, and economist and of course the astronomer who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at the center of the universe, likely independently of Aristarchus of Samos, who had formulated such a model some eighteen centuries earlier.
