Nicolaus Copernicus
He was a Polish mathematician who disagreed with Ptolemy's view that the earth is the center of the universe. The heliocentric theory is the theory that the sun is the center of the universe, not the earth.
Copernicus' heliocentric theory challenged the prevailing geocentric model of the universe, leading to a shift in scientific understanding of our place in the cosmos. This laid the foundation for modern astronomy and influenced the Scientific Revolution, sparking new ways of thinking about the universe and our place within it.
Galileo's findings challenged the geocentric view of the universe held by the Church, which was in conflict with his heliocentric model. The Church felt that this threatened its authority and interpretation of scripture, leading to Galileo facing accusations of heresy.

The heliocentric view of the universe was first proposed by the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century. He published his model in the book "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" in 1543, suggesting that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun.
Nicolaus Copernicus showed that our universe is heliocentric.
Aristarchus of Samos was the first person (that we know of!) that proposed a heliocentric model of the universe, as early as about 200B.C). His model was rejected mainly because of Aristotle's influence.Copernicus was the next person to propose a heliocentric model of the universe which was published in 1547. although very controversial at that time, this model was the one that caught on.
The scientific conclusion that Aristarchus reached was presenting the first heliocentric model of the solar system, His model showed the Sun and Earth in the center of the universe.

The heliocentric theory is the theory that the sun is the center of the universe, not the earth.
The geocentric universe was proposed by Ptolemy and focuses the Earth in the center of the universe. The heliocentric universe was proposed by Nicolas Copernicus and focuses the Sun as the center of the universe. However, both have been proved wrong.
The heliocentric theory questioned the existing belief in the geocentric theory of astronomy. Aside from being an astronomical observation, the heliocentric theory helped people to realize that they are not necessarily the center of the universe, which is an important part of scientific objectivity.
Copernicus discussed the concept of a heliocentric universe in his written work.

No. Only the solar system is.
