They say it was proven although I never looked too deeply into it. Right now I don't know how I'd prove it.

Technically heliocentrism isn't "proven" even for the limited purposes of our own solar system, it's just that assuming it makes calculating orbits easier.

not derived from axioms but every admissible observation fits the model and no rival model beats it. it isn't just a convenient coordinate trick though--not just easier math. the observable data itself produces measurable effects that dont still hold by picking diff coordinates
