How did Copernicus discovery come about?
Nicholas Copernicus stated that the Earth rotates on an axis and orbits around the Sun. To come about this he used circles moving in an orbit, or circular way, to support his system about Earth and its rotation. He used fixed stars, or "non moving" stars, to show the motion of other planets.

Which sixteenth-century astronomer used mathematics to conclude that the earth revolves around the sun and published his findings in On the Revolution of Heavenly Bodies?
It would be Nicholas Copernicus
Who developed ideas that contradicted Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe?
Copernicus and Galileo were two major figures whose ideas contradicted Ptolemy's geocentric model. Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model with the Sun at the center of the solar system, while Galileo used observations through a telescope to support this view and challenge Ptolemaic beliefs.
How did Galileo's observations of Jupiter's moons support Copernicus theory?
The discovery did not support Copernicus's theory directly but it raised doubts about the ancient theory of Ptolemy that said that all objects in the sky are in orbit round the Earth. Galileo was an aggressive supporter of Copernicus's theory but eventually it was Kepler's theory that became accepted and is still used today. Both Copernicus and Kepler placed the Sun at the centre but Kepler's elliptical orbits are supported by the later theory of dynamics.
Who are the forienger scientist?
What? foreigner is spelled wrong and scientist is not plural even though you used ARE after WHO. Albert Einstein was born in Germany, thus foreign. Alfred Nobel, Marie Curie, Galileo Galilee, Nicholas Copernicus.
What scientist said the earth moves around the sun?
Copernicus is the first in modern times, but he may have been basing his theory on the work of an earlier Greek Natural Philosopher. Galileo used a telescope and mathematics to prove Copernicus' hypothesis.
How has penicillin been used ever since discovery?
you apply it directly to the wound and plaster it
What did Copernicus do to find out his discovery?
Nicholas Copernicus 1473-1543 was a Polish priest and astronomer who created an alternative model of the planets which put the Sun at the centre, instead of the Earth as generally accepted at that time.He knew it would get him into trouble with the church, and his book 'De Revolutionibus' was not published until the year he died. The theory with the Sun at the centre was similar to the old Ptolemaic system with its collection of circles and epicycles allowing for the changes in distance and the changes in planets' speeds, and their departure from the ecliptic.
Who was the first scientist to dispute Ptolemy's model of a geocentric or Earth-entered universe?
Nicolaus Copernicus < NOVA NET ANSWER
Who used Mars to disputed the idea of the heliocentric model?
Copernicus
Was Copernicus right or did his idea need some tweaking and how?
Copernicus produced the first heliocentric theory of the planets' movements among the stars in1543. He used the idea that the Sun is at the centre, plus a whole lot more detail that has now been superseded. The modern theory is that of Kepler (1609), which resembles the Copernicus model only in so far as it is also heliocentric.
