Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, and Johannes Kepler were prominent scientists who challenged the Earth-centered view of the universe, known as the geocentric model. Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model, where the Earth and other planets orbit around the Sun. Galileo's observations with the telescope provided evidence for this heliocentric model, while Kepler refined it by discovering that planets move in elliptical orbits around the Sun.
