As optics improved, man began to see the solar system. Tycho Brahe in Denmark,
Nicolaus Copernicus of Poland, Johannes Kepler of Germany, and Italy's Galileo Galilei all began

The Science and Discovery series recreates history's four-thousand-year journey of scientific progress.
Science has often challenged and upset conventional wisdom. This is a story of vested interests and
independent thinkers, experiments and theories, change and progress. Aristotle, Copernicus, Kepler,
Galileo, Newton, Darwin, and Einstein all make appearances.
