COPERNICUS

People have always been interested in stars. The ancient Greeks were great watchers of the sky and also great thinkers. Watching the stars night after night, it was natural for them to think that the Earth stood still, and the stars, the planets, the Sun and the Moon were going round the Earth in space. For centuries people thought this was how the stars moved, though it was difficult to explain the movement of the planets.

Then one day, about the year 1500, a young scientist at Krakow University in Poland named Copernicus began studying the stars and the planets. Copernicus discovered that the Earth was not the centre of the stars and the planets, but the Earth itself was a planet, just like Mars and Venus, and it, together with other planets, moved round the Sun.

Not all of Copernicus' ideas were right. He thought correctly that the Moon went round the Earth, but the Earth moved round the Sun, but he thought that the stars did not move at all. Copernicus was so much afraid of what everyone would think of his new ideas, that he wrote them down only when he was almost dying. Yet he was the first man to explain correctly our solar system.
