Nicolaus Copernicus and then sir issac newton revised it to being correct
The fist person to go on the record with a complete theory of the planets that had the Sun at the centre was Nicholas Copernicus in 1543.
Copernicus produced a theory published in 1543 that modelled the planets orbiting the Sun.

Aristarchus of Samoa showed the first known model that placed the Sun at the centre of the known Universe.
Nicolaus Copernicus < NOVA NET ANSWER
Copernic was one of the first scientists who had the idea that the Earth is not the center of the universe. Otherwise known as Heliocentric.
Copernicus hypothesized (discovered) that the Sun is the center of the universe and that the Earth isn't. (Actually the Sun is not the center of the Universe but it its the center of our solar system). At that time the church thought that the Earth was the center of the universe and they thought that they were right all the time and Nicolas Copernicus proved them wrong and they got angry at him for doing that because a lot of people didn't trust the church any more.
Albert Einstein.Related Information:Einstein who's General Theory of Relativity and Principle of Equivalence (see links below), suggests that curved space/time, defines the universe as geodesic and may have no actual center. So Earth, like everything else in our universe, exists on its geodesic plane and not at its center.The death of the theory of an Earth-centered universe began when Copernicus first suggested that Earth was not even the center of our solar system. Though this idea was not well received at the time, it was later confirmed by the classic observations and calculations of GalileoThe answer of Albert Einstein fails to account for the fact that the center of the universe question was answered well before Einstein was born.
He was the guy who first thought the earth was the center of the universe
