Copernicus was the first person to show that the assumption of a helio-centric solar system made calculations of planetary orbits far simpler to understand, and held to the idea for decades. Aristarchus did propose our Sun as the center, but his ideas were roundly rejected by other Greeks. A few Arab astronomers toyed with the idea, but each ended up abandoning helio-centrism.
