Solar system and Nicolaus Copernicus
Solar system and Nicolaus Copernicus, composite artwork. All eight planets are shown, plus Pluto, the asteroid belt and a comet. The Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) was the first to formulate a scientifically-based heliocentric cosmology that displaced the Earth from the center of the universe. His epochal book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), is often regarded as the starting point of modern astronomy

EDITORS COMMENTS
This composite artwork titled "Solar system and Nicolaus Copernicus" takes us on a journey through space and time. In this stunning print, we are presented with a visual representation of our solar system as well as the influential figure who revolutionized our understanding of it - Nicolaus Copernicus. The artwork showcases all eight planets, including Pluto, along with the asteroid belt and a comet. Each celestial body is meticulously depicted, capturing their unique characteristics and positions within their orbits. The intricate details invite us to explore the vastness of our cosmic neighborhood. At the center of this composition stands Nicolaus Copernicus himself, an esteemed Polish astronomer from the 16th century. His groundbreaking work challenged long-held beliefs by proposing a heliocentric cosmology where Earth was no longer considered the center of the universe. His book "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" marked a turning point in scientific history and laid the foundation for modern astronomy. Through this artwork, we witness not only the beauty of our solar system but also pay homage to one man's intellectual courage that sparked a scientific revolution. It serves as a reminder that human curiosity knows no bounds when it comes to unraveling the mysteries of our existence in both space and time.
