The gregorian calendar? The second visual probably shows the years when it was formally adopted by different states around the world.

Heliocentrism? 1st pic is Aristarchus and his heliocentric model, 2nd is the various dates different countries adopted it and 3rd is Copernicus?

The Answer said...

The Connect is the Gregorian Calendar

1) The mural/epitaph from the tomb of Pope Gregory XIII referring the adoption of the new Calendar.
2) The years various countries adopted the new Calendar.
3) The Pope himself, Gregory XIII.

Congrast Rahul and Srini (Cough.Cough)

Thanks Nikhil (a very inspired guess) and Ankur for playing.
