[PAR] [TLE] Thomas Little Heath [SEP] Sir Thomas Little Heath ( ; 5 October 1861 – 16 March 1940) was a British civil servant, mathematician, classical scholar, historian of ancient Greek mathematics, translator, and mountaineer.  He was educated at Clifton College.  Heath translated works of Euclid of Alexandria, Apollonius of Perga, Aristarchus of Samos, and Archimedes of Syracuse into English. [PAR] [TLE] Aristarchus of Samos [SEP] Aristarchus of Samos ( ; Greek: Ἀρίσταρχος ὁ Σάμιος , "Aristarkhos ho Samios"; c. 310 – c. 230 BC) was an ancient Greek astronomer and mathematician who presented the first known model that placed the Sun at the center of the known universe with the Earth revolving around it (see Solar system).  He was influenced by Philolaus of Croton, but Aristarchus identified the "central fire" with the Sun, and he put the other planets in their correct order of distance around the Sun.  Like Anaxagoras before him, he suspected that the stars were just other bodies like the Sun, albeit further away from Earth.  He was also the first one to deduce the rotation of earth on its axis.  His astronomical ideas were often rejected in favor of the incorrect geocentric theories of Aristotle and Ptolemy.  Nicolaus Copernicus had attributed the heliocentric theory to Aristarchus.
