Which impressive Pole finally put the Sun at the center of the galaxy?

Remember when humans thought that Earth was the center of the universe? Yeah, neither do we. That's because Nicolaus Copernicus came along and blew that theory out of the water. Copernicus is the first to push the heliocentric model of the Solar System (the planets revolving around the Sun). Although he wasn't the first astronomer to suggest this radical idea, he expanded upon it and created a formula that more accurately calculated the positions of planets. Being a true Renaissance Man, he didn't stop at astronomy. He also delved into governance, medicine, and even economics, for which he wrote the Quantity Theory of Money.
