The Heliocentric solar system was discovered by Aristarchos in 200BC. Copernicus and Galileo only made it popular in the Renaissance.
I don't deny that entirely, but as I said, Aristotle's model was more popular (due to the influence of Thomas Aquinas) until Galileo...you also can't deny that the telescope made it more or less undeniable.
I recommend the film “Galileo,” about his astronomical conflicts with the the Catholic Church hierarchy, of the 1600’s. It’s available to stream for free through the service “TV Time Feature Films” channel on Roku, for example.
