Copernicus' discovery that the Earth revolves around the Sun, also known as the heliocentric model, challenged the prevailing geocentric view held by the Catholic Church. This caused controversy and sparked opposition from some religious authorities. However, Copernicus is considered a pioneer of the Scientific Revolution and his discovery ultimately revolutionized our understanding of the universe.

Copernicus hypothesized (discovered) that the Sun is the center of the universe and that the Earth isn't. (Actually the Sun is not the center of the Universe but it its the center of our solar system).

Copernicus was never imprisoned.
What did Nicholas Copernicus invent?
Nicolas Copernicus did not invent anything; however, he formulated the heliocentric theory, which proposed that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. This theory revolutionized our understanding of the solar system and paved the way for modern astronomy.
