The theory that the Earth was the center of the universe was popularized by Claudius Ptolemy, a Greek astronomer, in the 2nd century AD. This geocentric model of the universe was widely accepted in Western societies until the heliocentric model proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century.
There is no singular star in the center of the universe. Our universe is vast and does not have a center. Stars are spread throughout the universe in galaxies, and our sun is just one of the billions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
Nicolaus Copernicus found that the sun is in center of the universe
Before the heliocentric model of the solar system, people believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe. This geocentric model was commonly accepted in ancient times and throughout the Middle Ages.
The ancient Greeks believed the earth was motionless at the center of the universe because they observed the apparent motion of celestial bodies around the earth. They developed the geocentric model to explain these observations, with the earth as the fixed center point. This belief was reinforced by philosophical and religious ideas that placed importance on the earth as the center of creation.
Earth; geocentric
They thought the Earth was the center of the Universe. They also thought that the Sun was 300 times the size of Earth. Last but not least the ancient Greeks estimated that the circumference of the Earth was around 28,000 to 29,000 miles.
Perhaps you are confusing Universe with galaxy. Most galaxies have a black hole in their center. The Universe has no such thing as a center.
It would make sense that the capital should be in the center. But since the universe has no edge, it has no center, which means that no matter where you are in the universe, the view is the same. So the most central location in the universe is the entire universe.
The universe was discovered by ancient Greeks and Indians, when theories of an impersonal universe governed by physical laws were first proposed.
the universe is isotropic & homogeneous, meaning there is no center. the observable universe has a center, which is the part of the universe we can see. we are at the center of the observable universe.

Actually, each of us _is_ the center of our own "observable" universe. And for all we know, we're at the center of the real universe as well. In fact, we can't know if the universe HAS a "center", or where it is; all we can see is that most of the other galaxies seem to be ,moving away from us. So perhaps we ARE at the center? Nah, not likely.
This model of the universe placed the Earth at the center of the universe
The center of the universe is mind.
The universe has NO center
In the center of black holes.
