Copernicus and Pioneer Plaque

Description

In 1543, a diagram drawn by a Polish priest revealed to the world a new idea which forever changed our understanding of the cosmos and our place in it: the concept of a sun-centric universe. A plaque was put aboard the unmanned Pioneer space probe in 1972 to communicate fundamental facts about Earth and its inhabitants to life on other planets. How did a single diagram fit everything in?
