Claudius Ptolemy synthesized and extended Hipparchus' system of epicycles and encentric circles to ezplain his geocentric theory off the solar system.
If I remember correctly claudius ptolemy and Tycho Brahe discovered geocentric.
Ptolemy has two craters, an asteroid and a system named after him.The crater Ptolemaeus on Mars.The crater Ptolemaeus on the Moon.The asteroid 4001 Ptolemaeus.The geocentric model of the universe, known as the Ptolemaic system.
Most of these people were religious, and because the scriptures supposedly said that the Earth was in the center of the universe (geocentric), they had to stand firm with their beliefs. Only scientists and astronomers believed in the heliocentric theory, and some of them would be excommunicated or almost executed if they weren't geocentric.
Um... Ptolemy. Hence the name (the adjectival form is usually spelled "Ptolemaic", though). You're more generous than I am if you call him a "scientist," though.
ptolemy formulated the geocentric theory...
Claudius Ptolemy disproved geocentric theory.
Ptolemy invented the geocentric theory during the second century A.D.
