Johannes Kepler discovered that planet orbits were elliptical and not circular.
Copernicus and Galileo discovered the earth revolves around the sun. Any number of people may have sworn to this.
Ptolemy thought the earth was the center of the universe, so that the stars, the other planets and the sun revolved around the earth; Copernicus realized that for the orbits of the planets to make sense, the earth and the other planets had to revolve around the sun.
he discovered that the earth revolved around the sun (heliocentricity) and at that time everyone believed that the sun/planets revolved around the earth (geocentricity)

He knew that the planets revolved around the sun in an elliptical orbit.
Nicolaus Copernicus was a real astronomer who was able to figure out that the earth, as well as all the planets, revolved around the sun and that the Earth rotates on its axis once every day*.Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer who discovered that the Sun is the center of the universe (Heliocentric Theory) and the planets and stars revolved around it. This discovery shattered the Geocentric Theory, the thought that the Earth was the center of the universe and everything revolved around it.Bcause he knew his findings would be rejected, and he might face exicution, he did not publish his book On the Revolutions of Heavenly Bodies until 1543, the year he died.*Johannes Kepler discovered this
