Copernicus
Aristarchus of Samos was the first person (that we know of!) that proposed a heliocentric model of the universe, as early as about 200B.C). His model was rejected mainly because of Aristotle's influence.Copernicus was the next person to propose a heliocentric model of the universe which was published in 1547. although very controversial at that time, this model was the one that caught on.
HE was the first astronomer to figure out the earth wasn't the center of the universe the sin was it was the heliocentric theory
While many say it was capernicus I think it was actually " Aristarchus" a couple hundred years before Capernicus.
It was the first theory that said that the universe does not revolve around the Earth; instead we revolve around the sun. It discredited many people's theories and modern belief at the time. It is also the proven theory that we believe in today.
Copernicus used perfect circles for the orbits of the planets.

Ptolemy was the first person to introduce the theory of a geocentric universe, a universe in which everything revolves around the earth itself. But in 1543, Nicolas Copernicus was the first person to introduce and prove the idea that the universe is heliocentric, a universe in which everything revolves around the sun.
