Copernicus was a Renaissance mathematician and astronomer also he take part in varying fields,
In is time most people strongly believed that the earth was at the center of the universe (geocentric)
But in his book, Copernicus put forward a new theory that the earth rotates on its axis daily and revolves yearly around the sun
Also argued that the planets circled the sun (heliocentric), we know he was right now, in fact, not many people liked his book on his time, unfortunately he was no more within a year of completed his book, he may live in while there were possible of spent his rest of life in jail
