Copernicus
Nicolaus Copernicus proposed that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the solar system and that the planets, including Earth, revolved around the Sun in circular orbits. This heliocentric model challenged the prevailing geocentric view of the time.
Galileo did not have his own theory. He was a supporter of Copernicus's heliocentric theory and an opponent of the geocentric Ptolemaic theory. Eventually both theories were rejected in favour of Kepler's theory. But Kepler's theory uses the heliocentric idea from Copernicus's theory.
Nicolaus Copernicus!
Nicolaus Copernicus is the Polish astronomer who proposed the heliocentric model of the solar system, in which the Sun, rather than the Earth, is at the center. His work revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos and laid the foundation for modern astronomy.
