Ancient Greek astronomer Aristarchus is the first person known to have proposed our Sun as the center of our solar system, but this view was rejected by all of his contemporaries and all subsequent astronomers for centuries afterwards. Nicholaus Copernicus took this idea and gave it mathematical and philosophical rigor.
