Yup, by doing the "Gold Foil Experiment" he found that most particles went straight through a sheet of gold foil, while only a very tiny percent was deflected. This meant that the atom was mostly space, it had a tiny solid core called a nucleus, the nucleus is positivley charged and he beleived that the electrons surrounded the nucleus like how planets orbit the sun.

What early theory of atomic structure described electrons as moving around a central nucleus similar to the solar system?

Ernest Rutherford. Added: I would think Neils Bohr here. Clarification: I think it was Rutherford. Bohr's work came after the "Rutherford Model". There are many places to read about this, eg Wikipedia " Rutherford Model". Certainly Bohr refined the Rutherford Model even before his quantum ideas for the hydrogen atom. That's why the "planetary model" is sometimes called the "Rutherford-Bohr Model."
