Facts and Quotes:

In 1543 Copernicus' work on the heliocentric model of the solar system was published, in which he tried to prove that the sun was the center of the universe. Ironically, this was at the behest of the Catholic Church as part of the Catholic Reformation efforts for a means of creating a more accurate calendar for its activities. The idea that the earth moved around the sun, as advocated by Copernicus, was to most of his contemporaries preposterous.
