The beauty of science
Part 2
Google Doodle for Copernicus' 540th birthday.
Nicolaus Copernicus was a renowned Polish astronomer, mathematician and scientist. His heliocentric model of our solar system paved a new way for science. Absolutely revolutionary, the Copernican theory of the universe broke through the 16th century mode of thinking about the world and planetary system.
Today's Google animated doodle shows the planets rotating around the Sun.
Amazingly for us, the Copernican theory still is thought-provoking.
