* 1543: Nicolaus Copernicus.

In 1543, astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus from Toruń ( Thorn ) published his work De revolutionibus orbium coelestium and became the first person to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology that displaced the Earth from the center of the universe.

While its dates are disputed, the publication in 1543 of Nicolaus Copernicus's De revolutionibus orbium coelestium ( On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres ) and Andreas Vesalius's De humani corporis fabrica ( On the Fabric of the Human body ) are often cited as marking the beginning of the scientific revolution.

Nicolaus Copernicus ( 1473 – 1543 ), Kepler ( 1571 – 1630 ), Newton ( 1642 – 1727 ) and Galileo Galilei ( 1564 – 1642 ) all traced different ancient and medieval ancestries for the heliocentric system.

The geocentric model was nearly universally accepted until 1543 when Nicolaus Copernicus published his book entitled De revolutionibus orbium coelestium and was widely accepted into the next century.

* Nicolaus Copernicus ( 1473 – 1543 ) published On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres in 1543, which advanced the heliocentric theory of cosmology.

Nicolaus Copernicus had firmly moved the Earth away from the center of the universe with the heliocentric theory for which he presented evidence in his book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium ( On the revolutions of the heavenly spheres ) published in 1543.

* 1543 – Nicolaus Copernicus places the sun at the gravitational center, starting a revolution in science

* 1543 — Nicolaus Copernicus publishes his heliocentric universe in his De revolutionibus orbium coelestium

Nicolaus Copernicus published a different account of trepidation in De revolutionibus orbium coelestium ( 1543 ).

In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus had already posited that the planets orbited the Sun as the Earth does ; combined, these two concepts led to the thought that the planets might be " worlds " similar to the Earth.

Nicolaus Copernicus published the definitive statement of his system in De Revolutionibus in 1543.

De revolutionibus orbium coelestium by Nicolaus Copernicus and published in 1543 was the first mathematically predictive heliocentric model of a planetary system.

De revolutionibus orbium coelestium ( On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres ) is the seminal work on the heliocentric theory of the Renaissance astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus ( 1473 – 1543 ).

Prior to Kepler, Nicolaus Copernicus proposed in 1543 that the Earth and other planets orbit the Sun.
