The main response to his theory came from the Catholic Church. In this time period the church taught that man was the center of the universe and his theory proved that wasn't true. The church put him on trial for questioning the dogma that they preached. Others were very careful not to have the church turn their eye on them.
Many scientists believed this. Nicolaus Copernicus was the first to propose this idea however, and many other scientists believed in his theory as well, such as Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, and so on.
Nicolaus Copernicus is credited with developing the heliocentric theory, in which he proposed that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. This was a revolutionary idea during the 16th century when the prevailing belief was that the Earth was the center of the universe. Copernicus' work laid the foundation for the later advancements in astronomy made by scientists like Galileo and Kepler.
Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model in the 16th century, stating that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Galileo Galilei supported this idea in the 17th century through his observations with telescopes.

Galileo and Copernicus were two of the scientists to disprove Ptolemy's geocentric theory of the universe. The Ptolemaic theory stated that the center was earth.
Copernicus' contribution to astronomy was the heliocentric model, which placed the sun at the center of the solar system instead of Earth. This model revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos and laid the foundation for modern astronomy. Scientists continue to build upon Copernicus' work to further explore the universe.

Copernicus and Galileo are the first to come to mind, but there are many others beside these two.
Both scientists challenged ideas supported by the Roman Catholic Church.
It represented a change in scientific thought
the church rejected the theory and tried to punish scientists for promoting it.
