dec 31, 310 BC - Aristarchus (310-230 BC)

Description:

His heliocentric model was based on his attempts to estimate the relative sizes of the Earth, Moon and Sun, and their distances between each other. His heliocentric model was rejected as Aristotle's model was more detailed which allowed accurate predictions therefore it stayed in favour.
