Thousands of years ago everyone used to believe the Earth was flat. they thought it was like an island with water all around it. Above it was a dome-the sky. The sun and the stars moved acroos this dome.

The ancient Greeks had other ideas. pythagoras thought that the Earth wasn't flat. it was round and the Earth wasn't the moon and the stars moved around the sun. another greek, eratosthenes, calculated that the circumference of the earth was 40.000 km, with was almost exactly right.

Aboute 400 years later another Greek, Ptolemy ( 120-180AD ), changed everything. He wrote that the Earth, and not the sun, was at the stars moved around the Earth. for the next 1.400 years most people in Europe used to believe this.

In the 16th century a Polish mathematician and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus ( 1473-1543 ) went back to the ideas of the ancient Greeks and said that the sun, not the Earth, is at the centre of our solar system. Copernicus's ideas were not popular at the time. In 1609 the Italian astronomer Galileo ( 1564-1642 ) watched the movement of the stars with the first telescope. He could see that the sun was at the centre of our solar system so he proved that Copernicus was right.
