When were Galileo's ideas accepted?
Yes. The geocentric system was long accepted. Briefly the geocentric system used the earth as the center of the universe, thus the sun and planets revolved around the earth as center of the universe. The geocentric system had religious implications of the earth as the seat of "God". The heliocentric system replaced the geocentric system in Copernicus' time, with the sun as the center. This challenged the religious concepts. The "geocentric" system is still accepted. Locating heavenly bodies still use the RA (Right Ascension) system which is geocentric. Leaving out the question of where "God" lives, the astronomical question is simplicity of astronomy calculations..
Was the heliocentric system Copernicus' invention?
The Copernican concept of the Earth circling the Sun, rather than the Sun circling the Earth, was not entirely original with Copernicus. The Greek astronomer and mathematician Aristarchus of Samos was the first (that we know of!) to propose a Sun-centered system. Aristarchus' ideas were not widely accepted at that time, 2400 years ago, and the Earth-centered system of Aristotle became predominant. It fell to Copernicus and Galileo to make these ancient ideas more widely accepted.Just for the record, Aristotle may have been the wrong-est person in human history. His false ideas about motion, medicine, science and astronomy were all entirely incorrect. It would not be too much of an exaggeration to state that if Aristotle had been a space alien whose mission on Earth were to keep humans ignorant and savage, he could not possibly have been more successful.
