Copernicus proposed the Helio-centric model of the solar system 500 years ago, which placed the sun at the center rather than the Earth. This contradicted the prevailing geocentric model where it was believed that all heavenly bodies revolved around the Earth. Copernicus suggested that the planets, including Earth, instead orbit around the sun.
