mar 9, 1543 - Copernicus revolution

Description:

the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, who proposed a heliocentric system, in which the planets revolved around the Sun and not the Earth. His De revolutionibus orbium coelestium was published in 1543.[66] While in the long term this was a very controversial claim, in the very beginning it only brought minor controversy.[66] The theory became the dominant view because many figures, most notably Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler and Isaac Newton championed and improved upon the work.
