Nicolaus Copernicus, in 1543 , proposed his version of the heliocentric (Sun-centered) organization of the universe.(from De revolutionibus orbium coelestium)Finally we shall place the Sun himself at the center of the Universe.All this is suggested by the systematic procession of events andthe harmony of the whole Universe, if only we face the facts,as they say, 'with both eyes open'.
The heliocentric, or Sun-centered, system was first theorized by Nicolaus Copernicus.
