  • Heliocentrism

    The astronomical model in which the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun at the center of the Solar System
  • Heliocentric view

    • The earth is not the center of the universe, and it is just part of the universe
  • Aristarchus of Samos introduced the heliocentric view of the universe

  • Nicolaus Copernicus reintroduced the concept of heliocentric view with his book "De Revolutionubus Orbium Colestium"

    16th century
  • Nicolaus Copernicus

    Stated that the earth is not the center of the universe, the center of the universe is near the sun and the earth-sun distance is negligible compared to the distance to the stars
  • Tycho Brahe

    Fused concepts from geocentric view and heliocentric view to propose the geoheliocentric view
  • Tycho Brahe lost part of his nose at a sword fight with his third cousin, Manderup Parberg, because of a mathematical equation
  • Johannes Kepler

    Proposed three laws of planetary motion and provided evidences to strengthen the heliocentric view, saying that his faith, empirical data, and elegant math all sync
  • Galileo Galilei did not invent the telescope, it was invented by a Dutch spectacle maker Hans Lippershey in Holland, but Galileo was the first to enhance the scientific instrument and use it to understand the universe
  • Galileo Galilei

    • Called the "father of observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", the "father of the scientific method", and the "father of modern science"
  • The Copernican intellectual revolution did not die along with Copernicus, it became a progressive series of events which eventually led to the birth of modern astronomy
  • Science is not a one man team, it is a team effort, based on the series of events and contributions of various astronomers, which has led to our current understanding of the universe

  • Heliocentric model suggests that the planets orbit the sun instead of the earth.
  • Heliocentric model - Sun is at the center
  • Copernicus' work on astronomy challenged traditional beliefs about the universe, leading to significant changes in scientific understanding.
  • Copernicus' work challenged the traditional view that Earth is at the center of the universe, with the Sun revolving around it.
  • The Copernican Revolution was the shift from geocentrism to heliocentrism.
  • Copernican Revolution refers to the shift from geocentrism (earth at center) to heliocentrism (sun at center).
  • Geocentric Model - Earth is at the center
  • Galileo Galilei was an Italian scientist who made important discoveries using his telescope, including observations of the moon, stars, and Jupiter's moons.
  • Copernican Revolution - Heliocentric model was accepted as true
  • Copernicus proposed that the Sun was actually at the center of the solar system, with the Earth and other planets orbiting around it.
  • Ptolemy's Geocentric Model - The geocentric model proposed by Ptolemy suggested that all celestial bodies revolved around the Earth.
  • Johannes Kepler was a German mathematician and astronomer who developed laws describing the motion of planets around the sun.
  • Geocentric Model - Earth as Center of Universe
  • Geocentrism refers to the belief that the Earth is at the center of the Universe.
  • Heliocentrism refers to the belief that the Sun is at the center of the Solar System.
  • Ptolemy's Geocentric Model - Earth at Center of Universe
  • Galileo Galilei was an Italian physicist, mathematician, engineer, philosopher, and astronomer known for his contributions to the scientific revolution.
