Nicolaus Copernicus took several decades to develop his heliocentric model. He began formulating his ideas around 1500, and his key work, "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium," was published in 1543, shortly before his death. The process involved extensive observation and analysis of existing astronomical data, reflecting a gradual evolution of his thoughts on the structure of the universe.
