Copernicus (1473-1543) was the first modern thinker to propose the idea that the earth and other planets rotated around the sun in 1507, but waited until his death in 1543 to publish the idea. However, Aristarchus (310-230BC) in ancient Greece first proposed the idea in the third century BC.

Copernicus was aware of Aristarchus's idea, because in the original version of his book, there are crossed out passages from Aristarchus. See the related link below for more information.
