Copernicus correctly postulated that OUR sun was the center of this system but I don't think it's fair to attribute to him the discovery of solar systems (in the plural sense of a group of them making up what are in actuality, full galaxies). - StyleWar "If everyone' thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking."

Alas, Copernicus lived someplace where this Luther guy had nailed some complaints on the door, so they weren't taking the Pope very seriously there.
