For centuries the geocentric model of the universe--the theory that the Earth is at the center of the universe--was held by to be true, until Copernicus, who died in 1543, challenged the old ways.

Aristotle and Ptolemy, and most Greek philosophers assumed that the Sun, Moon, stars, and naked eye planets circle the Earth. Similar ideas were held in ancient China.
