Nicolaus Copernicus is one of the greatest figures from the Renaissance. He was born in Poland in 1743 and studied mathematics and astronomy. <u>Copernicus refuted the idea that the Earth was the centre of the universe</u> and developed the Heliocentric theory that states that <em>the sun is the center of the universe </em>and that planets revolve around it.
<em>This was first presented eighteen centuries earlier </em><em>by Aristarchus of Samos</em><em> but it was </em><em>Nicolaus Copernicus</em><em> the one who developed the mathematical model of a heliocentric universe and dedicated his whole life to defend this theory. </em>
