Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer and mathematician known for formulating the heliocentric model of the universe, which posited that the Earth and other planets orbit the Sun. His groundbreaking work, "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium," published in 1543, challenged the long-held geocentric view that placed the Earth at the center of the universe. Copernicus's ideas laid the foundation for modern astronomy and significantly influenced the Scientific Revolution.
