copernicus
Copernicus did not have a traditional middle name like we use today. His full name was Nicolaus Copernicus or Mikolaj Kopernik in Polish.
The revolution of the planets about the sun, but he wanted to use circles.
Copernicus was never imprisoned.
Copernicus' contribution to astronomy was the heliocentric model, which placed the sun at the center of the solar system instead of Earth. This model revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos and laid the foundation for modern astronomy. Scientists continue to build upon Copernicus' work to further explore the universe.
