Earth was the center of the universe
Scientists such as Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei developed ideas that contradicted Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe. Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model with the sun at the center, while Galileo's observations through a telescope supported this idea, leading to the eventual acceptance of the heliocentric model.

Galileo and Copernicus were two of the scientists to disprove Ptolemy's geocentric theory of the universe. The Ptolemaic theory stated that the center was earth.
Nicolaus Copernicus developed ideas that contradicted Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe by proposing a heliocentric model, where the Sun, rather than the Earth, is at the center of the universe. This revolutionary idea was further supported by later astronomers such as Johannes Kepler, who introduced elliptical orbits, and Galileo Galilei, who provided observational evidence through his telescopic discoveries. Together, their work laid the foundation for modern astronomy and challenged long-held beliefs about the cosmos.
Ptolemy's biggest discovery was his geocentric model of the universe, which believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe with planets and stars moving around it in circular orbits. This model dominated Western astronomy for over a thousand years.
The universe is not geocentric - it has no center. Only Luna is geocentric.
