Alot of people did and fortunately some of their relatives survived to tell their shocking tale.
Nicolas Copernicus first said this in the early 1500's. Before him, most people thought that the solar system revolved around the Earth. However, if one watches the planets for enough nights, eventually they will make some strange loops that Ptolemy called "epicycles" Ptolemy's system, which lasted for about 2,000 years, was extremely complicated. Copernicus's system, though, was relatively simple; he drew perfect circles (Johannes Kepler later proved that planets follow elliptical orbits) to represent the orbits of the planets known at the time. Despite his one inaccuracy (perfect circles), Copernicus's theory was still one giant step in the right direction.
Not a lot, actually. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1573
Nicolas Copernicus believed that the sun was the center of the solar system. Before that most believed that the Earth was the center of the universe.
Nicolas Copernicus was influenced by his uncle, after his father died when Nicolas was only ten. His uncle educated him. Also, note people spell his name many different ways so pick which one i guess..
