The sun and moon were visible to the naked eye in antiquity, and observations of the movements of these bodies gave rise to the science called astronomy. Astronomers for centuries believed that the Earth is the center of the universe and that the sun and all the other stars revolve around it. However, in the 16th century, the Polish mathematician and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus refuted this theory, providing strong evidence that the Earth and other planets travel around the Sun.
