Copernicus was an astronomer who stated that the sun was at the center of our solar system and that the planets rotated around it. Up until that time it was commonly believed that the planets, and the sun, rotated around the Earth. He wasn't the first, but was definitely the most famous for it. He also worked to develop better telescopes during the course of his studies.
