Aristotle did not believe that the Sun was at the center; he thought Earth was. Aristarchus, a Greek astronomer, is probably the earliest person we know of who supported a heliocentric solar system.

I believe that was Aristotle. This would be a geocentric universe. Galileo however, knew the universe was heliocentric and was persecuted for it.

How did the heliocentric theory of the universe differ from the geocentric theory?
the heliocentric theory is the theory that the sun is in the center of the universe. the geocentric theory is the theory that the earth is in the center of the universeGeocentric models had the earth as the center of the universe with the sun and all the planets orbiting it. Heliocentric models (the current accepted ones) have the sun as the center, with the earth and planets orbiting it.Geocentric was the idea developed by the Greek philosopher Aristotle of an earth-centered view of the solar system. With Christianity's influence, people had thought that God put Earth in the center of the universe. Heliocentric came later on by Italian astronomer Galileo that the sun was put at the center of the solar system while Earth and all the other planets orbit around it.

The heliocentric model is the one that replaces the geocentric model because the heliocentric model better described the solar system.

What scientist proposed a heliocentric model of the universe and the theory was rejected?
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.
Did the heliocentric theory challenge the geocentric theory?
Yes. The geocentric theory was established by renowned ancient thinkers like Aristotle and Ptolemy. It was also the belief of the then-dominant Roman Catholic Church. Few people were willing to challenge the teachings of Ptolemy, Aristotle and the Roman Catholic church. When Galileo Galilei proposed the heliocentric theory, he was prosecuted by the Catholic church. He was forced to take his theories back or risk ruining his family's reputation as well as death.
Who discovered heliocentric cosmology?
Nicolaus Copernicus The above answer is incorrect. Copernicus only proved what Aristarchus already discovered, however at that time people rejected his theory since Aristotle was more popular in terms of science than he was. "He presented the first known heliocentric model of the solar system, placing the Sun, not the Earth, at the center of the known universe...The heliocentric theory was successfully revived nearly 1800 years later by Copernicus" Aristarchus is the correct answer
