Nicolaus Copernicus

The above answer is incorrect. Copernicus only proved what Aristarchus already discovered, however at that time people rejected his theory since Aristotle was more popular in terms of science than he was.

"He presented the first known heliocentric model of the solar system, placing the Sun, not the Earth, at the center of the known universe...The heliocentric theory was successfully revived nearly 1800 years later by Copernicus"

Aristarchus is the correct answer
