For most of human history, people thought that the Earth was the center of the universe. Nicolaus Copernicus changed how people
understood the universe when he theorized that it was heliocentric, or sun-centered. Interestingly, Copernicus had most of this theory worked out some time before 1514, and his work was fully articulated by 1532, yet publication of this text was not completed until 1543 as he lay dying. Some scholars believe that Copernicus delayed publishing this work because it contradicted the Catholic Church’s view that the Earth was at the center of the universe. Copernicus may have been smart in doing so because the Church did not formally accept his view of the universe until 1822, almost 300 years later. What is the main idea of this text (What is the author trying to say bout the topic)?
