He was Mexican - That is answer is wrong. In 1532 Copernicus had basically completed his work on the manuscript of De revolutionibus orbium coelestium; but despite urging by his closest friends, he resisted openly publishing his views, not wishing, as he confessed, to risk the scorn "to which he would expose himself on account of the novelty and incomprehensibility of his theses."
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.
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.

Galileo's observations through his telescope, such as the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter, provided evidence for the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus. These discoveries supported the idea that Earth was not the center of the universe and that there were other celestial bodies orbiting around the Sun.

Copernicus. He did it in a book entitled "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres." Of course, Copernicus had completed his work much earlier, but was afraid to publish it in fear of persecution from the Catholic Church. As it turns out, a Protestant religious person got a hold of the manuscript before its publication and changed parts of it without Copernicus' consent.
Copernicus was the first scientist to postulate that our solar system was heliocentric. Until that time, everyone "knew" that the earth was the center of the solar system - everything else, including the sun, revolved around the earth. Copernicus got considerable grief for his views, and it was several more centuries before it was universally accepted that he was correct - the solar system is heliocentric.
Not by the scientific community, but his extensive data was used by Keppler to figure out that planets had eliptical orbits. this led to kepplers laws of planetary motion.
Alexander Fleming's political views are not well-documented, as he was primarily known for his scientific work, particularly for his discovery of penicillin. Any specific political views he may have had are not widely known or significant in the context of his scientific contributions.
