The geocentric theory continue to prevail in Western thought for almost 2,000 years, until the 17th century.

The ancient Greeks believed that what we called the solar system was in fact the entire universe, and that the universe was geocentric.
古希腊人坚信,我们所谓的太阳系实际上就是整个宇宙,并且宇宙以地球为中心。
Geocentric means Earth-centered, so the geocentric view holds that the Sun, the planets, and the stars, all revolve around the Earth, which is stationary.
