Astroomy After Copernicus
Abstract
Nicolaus Copernicus was a mathematician and astronomer who proposed that the sun was stationary in the center of the universe and the Earth revolved around it. Copernicus created a concept of a universe in which the distances of the planets from the sun bore a direct relationship to the size of their orbits. After the death of Copernicus, there were major contributors to astronomy and its advancement. Four of the major contributors are Tycho Brache, Johannes
Keplar, Galileo Galilei, and Issac Newton. Each of the above named astronomers contributed to astronomy in their own way. It is their input that opened to door to the advancements that we are exposed to today.
Modern Astronomy after Copernicus

Copernicus created a concept of a universe in which the distances of the planets from the sun bore a direct relationship to the size of their orbits. After the death of Copernicus, there were major contributors to astronomy and its advancement. At the time Copernicus idea was very controversial; however, it was the beginning of a change in the way the world was viewed. Copernicus is viewed as the initiator of the Scientific Revolution. After the death of Copernicus, there were major contributors to astronomy and its advancement.
After Copernicus, there was a Danish astronomer named Tycho Brahe. Brahe is known as the greatest astronomical observer before the invention of the telescope; he made the most accurate observations by devising the instruments available. Brahe proposed a hybrid model of Moon and Sun orbiting the Earth and the other planets moving around the sun. This conflicted greatly Copernicus, and with other astronomers such as Nikolaus Baer, who was convinced the Earth was rotating. Brahe did not entirely accept their theory based on
