Dava Sobel’s thoughtful play brings to life the storyplot of Nicolaus Copernicus, the Renaissance astronomer and mathematician who proposed the heliocentric style of the universe in which the Sunlight stands at the guts. Suffering from self-doubt and threatened by spiritual censure, Copernicus resisted the publication of his function until right before his loss of life in 1543. The play follows Copernicus in those final years as he works to complete his research by using Georg Rheticus, a disciple from about And The Sun Stood Still Wittenberg, Germany.

Includes a discussion with playwright Dava Sobel, writer of “A FAR MORE Great Heaven: How Copernicus Revolutionized the Cosmos.”
