Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543)

Polish astronomer who advanced the theory that the earth and other planets revolve around the sun, disrupting the Ptolemaic system of astronomy.

Classic case of a good-but-not-great thinker. . .his model of the universe held up for a period of time (sun being in the center - 'heliocentric'?) and it gets points for being revolutionary for its time, but Nick gave us the best work of his day that isn't quite as transcendent as other scientists or thinkers.
