He worked on his theory for years, but it was only published in the year of his death, in 1543.
No one person, but big contributors were Copernicus (1543), Kepler (1609), Newton (1687) and Bessel (1838).
(1473-1543)
In 1543, Copernicus published a book about a new idea he had. Most pople in his day thought that the Earth was the centre of the Universe. But, Copernicus disagreed. according to him, the Universe is not centred around the Earth, but the Earthis actually a planet circling the Sun.
Copernicus (1473-1543) postulated that the Earth revolves around the sun and that's called the heliocentric model.

Copernicus.
In 1543 Nicolas Copernicus changed the way the universe was viewed. He published a paper called De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (The Revolution of Celestial Spheres). In this paper, he told of a whole new universe and galaxy that no one had known before. He introduced the heliocentric model.
He said that sun was the center of the universe and that the earth and all the other planets orbit around it.
Nothing. He died in 1543.
Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer and mathematician who lived from 1473 to 1543. He designed a model of the solar system that correctly placed the sun at the center of the universe rather than the Earth, as was previously believed.
