Copernicus and the Revolutions

In his treatise copernicus simply sets out seven assumptions, including the idea that the earth is moving around the sun once a year and revolving on its own axis once a day. Rather than broadcasting this dramatic thesis as widely as possible, copernicus only circulated it in the form of hand written copies among friends and interested colleagues. Only in 15 forty did reticus publish copernicus findings in a text called the first report,. with on the revolutions following three years later.
