Nicholas of Myra, also known as Saint Nicholas, was a historical Bishop of Myra (in present-day Turkey). He is known for his many miracles. The legendary account and cult of Saint Nicholas spread throughout Europe during the Middle Ages due to the Eastern Romans' profitable trade with Europe. Saint Nicholas is said to have been born in the province of Lycia, in the Roman Empire, in AD 270.
Late Roman Empire, AD 270-343
Nicolas Copernicus was a prominent Polish astronomer and mathematician who formulated a heliocentric model of the universe, placing the Sun at the center rather than the Earth. He published his results in 1543, a time when the geocentric model of the universe, with Earth at its center, was widely accepted by the Catholic Church.
