Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) was a Polish astronomer who proposed the heliocentric model of the solar system, where the Sun is the center and the planets orbit around it. His work laid the foundation for the Scientific Revolution and challenged the geocentric model. Copernicus's book "De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium" was published in 1543, shortly before his death.
