Copernicus
"By no other arrangement have I been able to find so admirable a symmetry of the universe and so harmonious a connection of orbits as by placing the lamp of the world, the sun, in the midst of the beautiful temple of nature as on a kingly throne, with the whole family of circling stars revolving around him." --Copernicus, 1473-1543.
The earliest representation of the sun as the center of our planetary system caused a major shift in human thought.
