    Nicolaus Copernicus introduced the heliocentric model which placed the Sun, not the Earth, at the center of the Solar System, simplifying planetary orbits. This Copernican Revolution marked the birth of modern astronomy and was supported by later astronomers like Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, and Isaac Newton through accurate measurements, laws of planetary motion, telescope observations, and the law of universal gravitation.
