Nicolaus Copernicus
Copernicus spent the catholic jubilee year of 1500 in Rome. He even was able to witness the lunar eclipse on the 5th and 6th of November. He also read much of the works of the authors of ancient Greece like Pythagoras and Plato.

For several years Copernicus compiled a 40-page manuscript that described his ideas about a heliocentric solar system (all the planets circled around the sun). He called his manuscript Commentariolus which meant "Little Commentary," and shared it with friends in the science community. |
