On the Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres
New to our On the Shoulders of Giants series, this groundbreaking work of astronomy proposed a heliocentric universe in which planets orbited the sun-daring to challenge the Ptolemaic ideal of the earth as the center of the universe. This essay by Copernicus (1473-1543), revolutionized the way we look at the earth's placement in the universe, and paved the way for many great scientists, including Galileo and Isaac Newton, whose theories stemmed from this model. Featuring a biography of Copernicus and an accessible, enlightening introduction, both written by the renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, On the Revolution of Heavenly Spheres provides a fascinating look at the theories which shaped our modern understanding of astronomy and physics.

And the reason is not far to seek: some knowledge of the subject was necessary to fix the dates for the celebration of the various fasts and festivals—a matter of paramount importance throughout medieval times. It is probable that all the early scientists studied the heavens merely as a side line. Thus, Aristotle, who exercised such a profound influence in this branch of learning, was both an all-round scientist and a philosopher. Claudius Ptolemy, one of the most famous of the ancient astronomers, was an Egyptian king, who reigned at Alexandria between 127 and 157 a.d.[p.2] and Scriptures that it remained absolutely unquestioned for fourteen hundred years, and when Nicolaus Copernicus, himself ma
