Copernicus was worried that his mathematical model of the solar system went against Christianity, as he was a devout christian. It is for this reason that he did not publish his model until he was on his deathbed, and is partially the reason for Galileo being placed under house arrest. Copernicus was so worried about this that in several parts of his paper, he reconciled his theory with the views of the church.
Nicolaus Copernicus was a German born astronomer and mathematician of the Renaissance era. Copernicus' works showed that the Sun instead of the Earth was at the center of the universe on a heliocentric model.

It did not help the universe at all but it did help us in the continuing efforts to understand the universe.
The discovery of Nicolaus Copernicus, which posited that the Earth orbits the Sun (heliocentrism), was significantly advanced by later astronomers like Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei. Kepler refined Copernicus's model by introducing elliptical orbits, improving the accuracy of planetary predictions. Galileo's use of the telescope provided empirical support for heliocentrism by observing celestial phenomena, such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus. These contributions collectively solidified the transition from the geocentric view to a more accurate understanding of our solar system.
The single possessive of "Copernicus" is "Copernicus's." This indicates that something belongs to Copernicus, such as "Copernicus's theory." In some style guides, you might see it simply as "Copernicus'" if the name ends in "s," but "Copernicus's" is generally accepted.

The discovery of polonium doesn't affect us.
He was the first astromoner to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology which displaced the earth from the center of the universe.

Everyone just knew that the world was flat... If that was wrong, what else could be wrong...
