Glossary term: कोपर्निकन क्रांती

Description: कोपर्निकन क्रांती ही भूकेंद्रित (पृथ्वी-केंद्रित) सिद्धांताकडून सूर्यकेंद्रित कल्पनेच्या (मॉडेल) बदलला दर्शवते. भूकेंद्रित मॉडेल हे जवळपास दोन सहस्राब्दीसाठी एकमत होते, जरी काहींच्या मते ते अचूक नव्हते. या नवीन मॉडेलने आकाशातील ग्रह, तारे आणि इतर खगोलीय वस्तूंच्या हालचालींचे वास्तववादी आणि अचूक वर्णन दिले. खगोलीय क्षेत्राशी संबंधित संकल्पना स्पष्ट करण्यासाठी भूकेंद्रित मॉडेलचा वापर अजूनही केला जातो. कोपर्निकन क्रांतीचे नाव निकोलस कोपर्निकस यांच्या नावावर आहे, ज्यांनी सूर्यकेंद्री मॉडेलचे वर्णन डी रेव्हॅलिबस ऑर्बियम कोलेस्टियममध्ये केले आहे. इमॅन्युएल कांट हा कोपर्निकन क्रांती हा शब्द वापरणारा पहिला होता असा दावा अनेकदा केला जात असला तरी, या दाव्याच्या अचूकतेवर शंका आहे.

Copernicus's heliocentric system

Caption: Sketch of Copernicus's heliocentric model of the Solar System, from his book "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" (On the revolution of the heavenly spheres) published in 1543. Shown are the Sun as well as the orbits of Mercury, Venus, the Earth (itself orbited by the Moon), Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The outermost circle represents the sphere of the stars. In this model, the Earth is not special – it is merely one planet, among several, orbiting the Sun. This was the first example for what is now known as the Copernican Principle: that our positions as observers in the universe is not special or privileged in any way. The shift from the geocentric to the heliocentric model of our universe is known as the Copernican revolution.
