The first person to promote the idea of the Heliocentric theory was Philolaus, a Pythagorean philosopher. The first "scientist" was Nicolaus Copernicus. He used his teacher's, Tycho Brahe precise measurements to help formulate how the stars moved in the sky and found that the sun moved much faster relative to everything else. He then explained away the movement by applying the Sun as the center of our solar system.

His book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) was finished in 1532, however, because of Copernicus' fear of rejection from the Church and his peers, the book was not published until 1543, shortly before his death.
