Astronomical Revolution

The Astronomical Revolution refers to the major shift in understanding that occurred during the 16th and 17th centuries when scientists began to challenge the traditional geocentric model, which placed Earth at the center of the universe. Pioneers like Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model, showing that the Sun, not Earth, is at the center of our solar system. This shift was further supported by observations from astronomers like Galileo and Kepler. The revolution marked a significant transition in science, laying the groundwork for modern astronomy and changing humanity's perspective on its place in the universe.
