Aristarchus of Samos.
Aristarchus of Samos, a Greek mathematician and astronomer, about 2300 years ago.
The idea of a sun-centered model of the solar system was proposed by the ancient Greek astronomer, Aristarchus of Samos, in the 3rd century BCE. Known as heliocentrism, this concept challenged the prevailing geocentric model that placed Earth at the center of the universe.
No, Aristarchus of Samos proposed a heliocentric model of the universe with the Sun at the center and the Earth revolving around it. This idea was contrary to the prevalent geocentric model at the time.
Nicolaus Copernicus, in 1543 , proposed his version of the heliocentric (Sun-centered) organization of the universe.(from De revolutionibus orbium coelestium)Finally we shall place the Sun himself at the center of the Universe.All this is suggested by the systematic procession of events andthe harmony of the whole Universe, if only we face the facts,as they say, 'with both eyes open'.
Copernicus proposed a sun centered solar system Galileo supported his belief.
Aristarchus of Samos was born in 310 BC and passed away in 230 BC. He was a Greek mathematician as well as a scholar and astronomer. He was the first astronomer to offer a model of the universe with the Sun at the center.

Aristarchus of Samos, a Greek mathematician and astronomer, was the first person (that we know of) to propose the idea that the Earth circles the Sun
Aristarchus of Samos (circa. 300- 250BC), a Greek Astronomer and Mathematician is belived to be the first astronomer who proposed that sun is the center of the universe (Heliocentric). but the idea did not begin to gain general acceptance until it was proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus 1543.

Aristarchus of Samos, a Greek mathematician and astronomer, about 2300 years ago.
The first person whose name is known to us (there may have been earlier ones, but we haven't found any historical record of them) was the Greek mathematician and astronomer Aristarchus of Samos.
Aristarchus was born in Samos, Greece in 310 BC. He was both a mathematician and an astronomer, and gave the world the first model of the universe with the sun placed at the center and the Earth revolving around it.
No--he believed that the sun was the center of the universe.
Hipparchus of Nicea (190-120 BCE)--> earth at the center. Aristarchus of Samos (310-230 BCE) --> sun at the center of the universe... The cast of priests/ engineers of ancient Egyptians (or the ancestors before the Ancient Egyptians) who built the Pyramids knew better: they had what we would now call a modern conception and understanding of the universe, or at least a part of the universe.
Aristarchus of Samos thought that the sun was at the center of the universe and some "educated" greek people thought that the earth was the center of the universe but they were dead wrong because modern science now has evidence that the sun is the center of the universe.
