Happy Birthday Nicolaus Copernicus!

Today is the birthday of Nicolaus Copernicus (polish pronunciation - Nikolia Kopernik). This Polish mathematician and astronomer was the first to develop the theory that the Sun was actually the centre of our universe, not the Earth. This is called the 'heliocentric model'. Many say that the publication of his book and theory was the dawn of the Scientific Age, or the Scientific Revolution.
