It has never happened, and never will. The center of the galaxy does not lie in the plane of the ecliptic, so all the planets can never line up pointing that way.

When was the last time the planets aligned in a row?
"One calculation of alignments within around thirty degrees (about as close as they can get) shows that the last such alignment was in 561 BC, and the next will be in 2854. All nine planets are somewhat aligned every 500 years, and are grouped within 30 degrees every 1 to 3 alignments."http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=203
Was there a big disaster when all the planets were aligned last time?
There is always a problem with using the term Planetary alignment. How close do you want the planets to be in alignment. Do you include the ecliptic? If you want all the planets to be aligned in a straight line with only a 1 mile difference, then you'll have a wait a long long while - probably infinity. Even then, you have to take into account the ecliptic as space is 3 dimensional, so the planets will never align in a perfect straight line as seen from Earth. The last "close" alignment was in May 2000 and nothing happened then.
Who discovereed that the planets revolved around the sun?
Aristarchus was the first do to so. Copernicus discovered the math was easier if he assumed the sun was the center, but I'm not sure how hard he pushed the theory. Galileo pretty much proved the sun was the center of the solar system. Of course, he thought the sun was the center of the universe. The realization it was not pretty much came just last century.
