Heliocentrism, the astronomical model that places the Sun at the center of the solar system, was most notably proposed by the Polish mathematician and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century. His seminal work, "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium," published in 1543, challenged the geocentric model that had dominated for centuries. While earlier thinkers, such as Aristarchus of Samos, had suggested similar ideas, Copernicus is credited with formulating a comprehensive heliocentric theory that laid the groundwork for modern astronomy.
