Nicolaus Copernicus challenged the geocentric model of the universe proposed by Aristotle and Ptolemy by introducing the heliocentric model, which posited that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. His work, "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium," published in 1543, laid the groundwork for modern astronomy. Later, Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler provided further evidence supporting the heliocentric theory, leading to a significant shift in scientific understanding of the cosmos.
