Nicolaus Copernicus Tee

Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus was the first modern European scientist to propose that Earth and other planets revolve around the sun. The suggestion that Earth was not the center of the universe was widely resisted by society at the time.

Some context from Britannica:

In Copernicus’s period, astrology and astronomy were considered subdivisions of a common subject called the “science of the stars,” whose main aim was to provide a description of the arrangement of the heavens as well as the theoretical tools and tables of motions that would permit accurate construction of horoscopes and annual prognostications. At this time the terms astrologer, astronomer, and mathematician were virtually interchangeable; they generally denoted anyone who studied the heavens using mathematical techniques.

Copernicus developed his Heliocentric Theory using observation and math, he looked at reality and saw a deviation from what he was being told to think. He is an inspiration and a scientific icon.
