Nicolaus Copernicus (19 fev 1473 ano – 24 maio 1543 ano)

Descrição:

"Polish astronomer who proposed that the planets have the Sun as the fixed point to which their motions are to be referred; that Earth is a planet which, besides orbiting the Sun annually, also turns once daily on its own axis; and that very slow long-term changes in the direction of this axis account for the precession of the equinoxes."
