Nicolaus Copernicus published his major work De revolutionibus orbium coelestium in Nuremberg during 1543. The first edition appeared in 1543 followed by a second edition in Basel in 1566.

What year did Isaac Newton propose universal gravity to complete the physical proof for the Copernican system?

Isaac Newton proposed universal gravity and inverse-square law of gravitational attraction in 1687 to explain Kepler's elliptical planetary orbits completing the physical proof for Copernican system. The Copernican Revolution spanned over a century beginning with De revolutionibus orbium coelestium publication and ending with Newton's work establishing final validation.
