The astronomical telescope.
The heliocentric, or Sun-centered, system was first theorized by Nicolaus Copernicus.
Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model of the universe, with the Sun at the center and the planets orbiting around it, while Ptolemy's model placed the Earth at the center. By providing a simpler explanation for planetary motion and accurately predicting the positions of celestial bodies, Copernicus's model challenged the complexity of Ptolemy's geocentric theory and gained acceptance over time.
No, Galileo believed in the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus, where the Earth revolves around the Sun. His support for this theory was one of the key reasons for his conflict with the Catholic Church.
The heliocentric theory was originated by Copernicus.

He created a formula and mathematically proved his theory.
Nicolaus Copernicus put forward a heliocentric theory.
The heliocentric, or Sun-centered, system was first theorized by Nicolaus Copernicus.
Copernicus, with the use of the heliocentric theory and Galileo with his telescope proved the planets revolve around the Sun.
Copernicus was one of the first to advance the heliocentric theory of the universe. In other words, he realized that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Until that point, it was assumed that the Sun and planets revolved around the Earth.
