Summarize this paragraph in one sentence. explain the main idea.
for most of human history, people thought that the earth was the center of the universe.
nicolaus copernicus changed how people understood the universe when he theorized that it was
heliocentric, or sun-centered. interestingly, copernicus had most of this theory worked out some
time before 1514, and his work was fully articulated by 1532, yet publication of this text was not
completed until 1543 as he lay dying. some scholars believe that copernicus delayed publishing
this work because it contradicted the catholic church's view that the earth was at the center of
the universe. copernicus's may have been smart in doing so because the church did not formally
accept his view of the universe until 1822, almost 300 years later.
