Copernicus is one of the most know astronomers, he was
one of the first people to suggest that not everything in the solar
system circled around the Earth and that it in fact went around the Sun
in ovals. He made a book with his opinions and comparing them to the
opinions of other people. He refrained from publishing his book for
quite a while because he didn't want to get in trouble with the Catholic
church.
His ended up publishing his book, it was called "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres" The first printed copy was given to him on his death bed. He died the same year his book was published. As it would work out, he did get in trouble with the Church and his book was banned from the church because they believed that this new theory was saying that because the Sun was the center of all the solar system, that implied that people on Earth were not the center of God's plan in making the world.
Despite his works being banned by the church, people slowly started to accept Copernicus' theory and others started to believe that the Sun was the center of the solar system. He would eventually be called the "Father of Astronomy".
