Nicolaus Copernicus
In the past, people thought that the Earth was the center of the universe. It was Nicolaus Copernicus who learned the truth! He was born in Poland in 1473 and created the sun-centered solar system model that we now know. He traveled all over Europe during his life. What did he look like when he was alive?
