Ancient observers believed Earth was the center of the universe due to the apparent motion of celestial bodies, which seemed to revolve around a stationary Earth. This geocentric model was reinforced by philosophical and religious views that placed humans and Earth at the center of creation. Additionally, the lack of advanced observational tools made it difficult to perceive the vastness and complexity of the cosmos, leading to a biased interpretation of the heavens. These beliefs were solidified by influential thinkers like Aristotle and Ptolemy, whose works dominated scientific thought for centuries.
Eudoxus believed that the Earth was the center of the universe, with the stars, planets, and the Sun orbiting around it in perfect circular motion. This geocentric model was later refined and expanded upon by other ancient Greek astronomers.
The term for the center of the universe is often referred to as the "cosmic center" or the "geocentric model" in ancient astronomy. However, in modern cosmology, there is no single defined center of the universe as space is expanding uniformly in all directions from the Big Bang.
The invention of the telescope showed that the earth wasn't the center of the universe.
The belief that Earth was the center of the universe was prominent in ancient times, especially during the Ptolemaic system in the 2nd century AD. This geocentric view was modified by Copernicus in the 16th century with his heliocentric model, which placed the Sun at the center of the universe.

The universe is not geocentric - it has no center. Only Luna is geocentric.

Well, Aristotle was the philosopher who reasoned this, but around his time everyone believed that. The term geocentric is used for those that believe that the Earth is the center of the universe. Belief in this system was common in ancient Greece. It was embraced by both Aristotle and Ptolemy, and most, but not all, Ancient Greek philosophers assumed that the Sun, Moon, stars, and naked eye planets circle the Earth. Similar ideas were held in ancient China.
No one knows till now but scientists believe that there can be a black hole in the centre of the Universe.
