Copernicus.
He First Explained our Solar System.
Men have always been fascinated by the stars. Centuries ago people looked up at the sky and saw that some stars did not twinkle but wandered across the sky as bright points of light. These "wandering" stars were what we now call the planets. The ancient Greeks were great watchers of the sky and also great thinkers. As they watched the stars night after night it was natural for them to think that the earth stood still and the stars, planets, sun and moon were going round and round the earth in space.
When Copernicus was born in 1473, most educated people believed that the earth was the centre of the universe and that all the heavenly bodies revolved about the earth.
His mathematical and astronomical studies convinced Copernicus, however, that the apparent motion of the sun and the stars could best be explained in another way. In reality, he stated, the earth rotated on its axis at the same time that it revolved around the sun. The stars, he thought, were extremely distant and occupied fixed positions in space.
It took a great deal of courage for Copernicus to oppose the authorities of his day. However, in the year of his death, 1543, his book "Concerning the Revolution of Celestial Spheres" was published. It explained his ideas.
Using a homemade telescope, Galileo carefully observed the heavens. His observations and mathematical computations soon convinced him that Copernicus was right in saying that the earth rotates about the sun.
