Event Information:
Some 500 years ago, a growing awareness of cracks in the Ptolemaic model led to the Copernican revolution - a paradigm shift in our understanding in which we came to realize that the Earth was not the center of our cosmos, but rather just one of several bodies in orbit about the Sun. Centuries later, watershed discoveries brought us awareness of the structure of our galaxy, innumerable galaxies beyond our own, the cosmological evolution of the universe and the rich physics that tie them together.
