One of the scientists who developed the therory of elliptical orbits for the planets around the Sun was Johannes Kepler.
There was a philosopher in Ancient Greece, but Copernicus was the first to
propose a proper scientific theory in 1543.
Ptolemy's theory was incorrect because he believed the Earth was at the center of the universe and that the other planets and the Sun revolved around it. However, he was later corrected by, I believe, Copernicus (Ca-per-ni-kus) who stated the Sun was in the center of the universe and that the planets, including Earth, revolved around it.
Galileo expressed his support of the Copernican theory that the Earth and planets revolved around the Sun. But that wasn't exactly a trial.

It is the theory in which the earth is the center of the universe and that all the planets revolve around it including the sun. this theory was developed by Aristotle.Geocentric theory basically stated that the Earth was at the center of the universe, and that the sun, moon, planets, and other heavenly bodies revolved around it.

Eudoxus thought that the planets revolved around the Earth not 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)
