yes that's right
Aristarchus of Samos was the ancient Greek astronomer and mathematician who first proposed that the Earth moved around the "central fire", or the Sun.

∙ 9y agoThe first astronomer to dispute the model seriously was Nicholas Copernicus in the 1500s. His model used circles and epicycles, like the old Ptolemaic model, but had the Sun at the centre, which led to its being named the heliocentric model.
Sixty years after his death in 1543, the Copernicus model was taken up by Galielo in his dispute with the Catholic church.
In the latter half of the 1600s further discoveries led to wider acceptance of the heliocentric concept. However the rest of the Copernicus model was discarded and replaced by Kepler's model which had each planet in an elliptical orbit, and this was taken up and given scientific credibility by the discoveries of Newton and others.
