Galileo Gallilei (dont know how to spell his name) ,Johanes Kepler, and Newton

Galileo saw the solar flares cycles, Keples created Kepler's three laws of planetary motion which proved Tycho Brahe wrong. Kepler showed that each planet rotates around the sun in an elliptical shape (which have two vertices, one being the center of mass between the two objects and the second being the center of gravity)

Kepler was proved wrong because he did not have the theory of Universal gravity created by Newton 100 years later

Hope this helps

The first true model of the solar system that involved the Earth revolving around the Sun was developed by Aristarchus of Samos. It wasn't widely accepted, however. The idea popped up a number of times afterward, though in at least one occasion it was suggested that the other planets went around the Sun and the Sun revolved around the Earth. Nicolaus Copernicus presented his heliocentric ideas in the 16th century, though he was a mathematician rather than a scientist. It still would not be popularized and widely accepted until after the works of Kepler and Galileo gained acceptance.

It was embraced by both Aristotle and Ptolemy, and most, but not all, Ancient Greek philophosers assumed that the Sun, Moon, Stars, and naked eye planets circle the Earth.

The Greek astronomer and mathematician Aristarchus of Samos is the first person (that we know of) to have written that the Earth revolves around the Sun, about 2400 years ago.

It doesn't, so I wouldn't say that anybody "discovered" it.

The notion that the Earth revolves around the Sun had been proposed as early as the 3rd century BC by Aristarchus of Samos but Aristarchus's heliocentrism (the theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun) attracted little attention until a scientist named Copernicus revived and elaborated it.
