Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish astronomer monk of the Renaissance who formulated the heliocentric theory of the solar system, conceived in the first instance by Aristarchus of Samos. His book "On the revolutions of the celestial spheres" is usually considered the starting point of modern astronomy, as well as being a key piece in what was called the Scientific Revolution at the time of the Renaissance. Copernicus spent about twenty-five years working on the development of his heliocentric model of the universe. At that time it was difficult for scientists to accept it, since it was a real revolution.

The Golden Age. Generally speaking, historians and technicians refer to the time between post WWI and the Great Depression as the "Golden Age" of piano building, because by and large, many people had come to the conclusion that the design and general conception of the instrument was 'complete', and that there was very little room for further improvements.

klio [65]

Trial CourtAppellate CourtFederal trial courts are called district courts.Federal appellate courts are called courts of appeals. Cases can be further appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.Cases are heard for the first time in a trial court.If either party disagrees with the decision in the trial court, they can appeal, asking a higher court to review the decision.Cases only affect the people involved with the case.The outcome of appeals cases have the potential to affect large numbers of people, because these decisions are binding on district courts within the circuit.The two sides present evidence and witnesses, and either a judge or a jury makes a decision based on the evidence presented.No new evidence is presented, the judge(s) simply review the materials from the original trial and determine whether the lower court made the correct legal decision.
