The Copernican Revolution 1.Copernicus ( ) revived the idea of a Sun-centered solar system model: However, like Aristarchus, Copernicus’s model was not accurate enough to convince many people. 2.Tycho Brahe ( ) made accurate (arcminutes) nake-eye measurement of planet motion Tycho believed that planets must circle the Sun, but his failure to detect stellar parallax forced him to put the Earth at the center of the system, with the Sun orbiting the Earth, and the planets orbit the Sun. 3.Johannes Kepler ( ) were able to make accurate prediction with his heliocentric model of planetary orbits, agreeing with Tyco ’ s observation Kepler’s initial failure (using prefect circular orbits) to match Tyco’s observation led him to adopt a model with elliptical planetary orbit. 4.Galileo Galilei ’ s ( ) telescopic observations helped solidify the heliocentric view of the solar system.
