Aristarchus of Samos (c. 310-230 BC) is primarily known for his work on heliocentrism, proposing that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. His research encompassed astronomical observations and mathematical calculations to support his heliocentric model, which was groundbreaking in challenging the prevailing geocentric view of the cosmos. Aristotle and other ancient astronomers largely dismissed his ideas, but his work laid the foundation for later astronomers like Copernicus.
