The book is "De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium" written by Nicolaus Copernicus. This work proposed the heliocentric model of the solar system, where the Sun is at the center and the planets revolve around it. This challenged the prevailing geocentric model, where Earth was thought to be at the center of the universe.
