Who was the Polish Astronomer discovered that the Earth revolved around the central Sun?

Nicolaus Copernicus didn't so much discover as hypothesize that the sun was the center of the solar system. He first circulated his ideas in 1514, but didn't actually publish until just before his death in1543. Actual proof that the Earth moves didn't come until almost two centuries later.
