Actually, no one challenged his theory. In fact the next real astronomer, to even come back to his theory was Galileo, who came around fifty years later. There were absolutely no challenges to his theory, but between the fifty years of Copernicus's death, and Galileo proving Copernicus right, his theory was shunned, and the church passed a law that saying his name was illegal.

Copernicus was the first scientist to postulate that our solar system was heliocentric.

Copernicus published his theory in 1543
