Why did Copernicus decide not to publish his book on his theory of a heliocentric universe until after his own death?

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."

Was Isaac Newton's findings about the Solar System geocentric or heliocentric?
Ptolemy's research in the field of astronomy led him to continue down the vein of other Greek scholars who believed in the Geocentric system of planetary orbit. The Ptolemaic system, which believed that the planets and sun moved in small mini-orbits, known as epicycles, within a larger, greater orbit around the earth, was comprised in order from closest to farthest as Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Due to this system's ability to fairly accurately predict the paths of the observable planets in the sky, it remained widely accepted until Copernicus became champion, if you will, of the Heliocentric theory. Even then, Ptolemy's system was still better able to explain the motions of the planets. It was not until the later addition of Kepler's laws of motion that the Heliocentric theory fell neatly into place.
Who was the Polish astronomer who suggested that the sun was the cener of the universe?
Nicholas Copernicus suggested in 1543 that the model of the Universe could be simplified by considering the Sun at the centre rather than the Earth. In the early 1600s Galileo had a dispute with the Church about it because scripture said that the Earth is at the centre. At that time it was impossible to decide which idea was true, until in the late 17th century Newton's theories of gravity and motion explained why the planets follow Kepler's 1609 model with elliptical orbits and the Sun at the centre.
