It will investigate the terms of this issue as they were available to Copernicus, and will stress both continuities and discontinuities with Ptolemaic astronomy. The consequences of heliocentrism for celestial physics will also be considered. Some of the consequences are inherent to heliocentrism, although not all of them were accounted for in
