The critical realization that Earth is not at the center of the universe is now known as the Copernican Revolution. The idea that neither Earth nor Sun occupy a special place in the universe is known as the "Copernican Principle". This hypothesis is scientifically classified as a "Principle of Mediocrity".
Brahe's theories revolved around the ptolemaic system, where Earth was the centre of the Universe. Copernicus stated that the Earth is not the center of the Universe, but we revolve around other masses as well.
Nicolaus Copernicus developed and published an astronomical model in 1543 that put the sun at the center of the universe. This model became known as Copernican heliocentrism.
The Copernican Hypothesis is the hypothesis that the sun, rather than the earth, was at the centre of the universe. Copernicus theorised that the stars and planets, including the earth, revolved around a fixed sun. He worked on it from 1506-1530, but it wasn't published until the year of his death in 1543.
Galileo supported the Copernican system, but Aristotle did not. The Copernican system was a belief that the sun was the center of the solar system.
