Nicolaus Copernicus revolutionized astronomy by proving Earth orbits the Sun, yet feared publishing for decades. Urged on by allies, his discovery reshaped science in this gripping, high-stakes story.
For 30 years Copernicus is sure, the earth revolves around the sun. At the same time, he is plagued by doubts because his mathematical calculations do not coincide with astronomical observations.
Copernicus allowed his groundbreaking On the Revolution of the Heavenly Spheres to be printed shortly before his death. Banned for over 200 years, it sparked the Copernican revolution.
