Copernicus was right to claim that the Earth revolves around the sun, but he wrongly assumed that the Earth followed a circular trajectory,
Copernicus's mistake was pointed out and rectified by Galileo and Newton, who then made other mistakes.
Copernicus discovering that we went around the sun, not being the center of the universe.
Coperto means, literally, a lid on something.
Copernicus proposed otherwise that it is the sun at the center of the cosmos.
Copernicus' discovery was not only about astronomy.
Copernicus has opened up the idea of a whole new world system.
The Copernicus Program is a newer program within the agency but a very substantive one, because we are doing this with the European Union, who
The Copernicus Sentinel satellites are grouped in five or in six different families.
So Copernicus with his great discovery of the Earth actually moving around the sun, I mean, that was a huge insight into the universe.
Nicolaus Copernicus back in the 16th century, he had just the idea.
In the years since Copernicus put forth the theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun, we’ve learned that some questions are just too big, too complex,
It would be like Copernicus showing the earth goes around the sun instead of the other way around.
starting in 1998 the Copernicus Program, which is a set of multiple satellite missions that have become the most, I would say,
through the Copernicus Program.
has declared formally Copernicus as one of the two flagship programs in Europe.
But the roadmap for Copernicus that you talked about is still primarily oriented around launching
And that was with Copernicus.
These are Copernicus and Galileo.
But then comes Copernicus in 1543 and said, sorry folks, the earth is just another planet.
So when Copernicus did his little thing of moving a reference point 93 million miles, it was a nice mathematical hack, and it

The second orbit is the Copernicus orbit, which symbolizes those satellites which we call Sentinels that are monitoring the planet

is way bigger than the Copernican revolution.
And that required-- if you go from Copernicus up to Isaac Newton, that was 144 years.
But I thought of how before Copernicus, the general assumption that everybody accepted was that the Earth was flat, right?

So again, the Copernican model, which wasn't proven-- so by the standards of mathematical proof, in science, what we do is really disprove other hypotheses.
And you see the more complicated version of Copernicus and Galileo on the right.
And this is one of the most important features of the Copernicus Program, that we are committing ourselves to have satellites that provide these measurements basically
Imagine all of the trouble and strife that you could save Copernicus and Galileo, and all threats of being burned at the stake, if only they'd

Everything that he's using is done in a furtherance of the Copernican hypothesis.
And really, the essence of his leadership of Copernicus is to shape a future of our planet that will benefit all of us.

You can imagine. Here's Copernicus.
So the science of the time would be at odds with what Copernicus was saying.
What I call cover, the Italians called it coperto.
with ADD. And it was Nicolaus Copernicus who thought that maybe it could be the other way around.
If you think about it, the entire Copernican revolution came about by reframing what we think of the solar system.
Firstly, there's a rule in astronomy called the Copernican Principle, which sounds kind of grand.
And as we get further along into the text, as we get into Copernicus and Jules Verne and then Amelia
So the way I put it in the book is doesn't really matter whether it's Copernicus or Mussolini or your mom who tells you
And he made many blunders, and they were done in the service to further confirm the Copernican hypothesis.
