Wikivids presents a brief video about Nicolaus Copernicus! Nicolaus Copernicus (19 February 1473 to 24 May 1543) was a Renaissance- and Reformation-era mathematician and astronomer who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at the center of the universe, likely independently of Aristarchus of Samos, who had formulated such a model some eighteen centuries earlier.
