It would be Nicholas Copernicus
Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish astronomer who proposed the heliocentric model of the universe, with the Earth revolving around the Sun. His theory challenged the commonly held belief of a geocentric universe and laid the foundations for modern astronomy. Copernicus's work was published in his book "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) in 1543.
The 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.
Nicolaus Copernicus, a Polish mathematician and astronomer, proposed the heliocentric model of the universe in his book "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres" published in 1543. This model argued that the Earth and other planets orbit the Sun, challenging the geocentric view that placed Earth at the center of the universe.
