In 1543 Nicolas Copernicus had shown that the motions of the planets and the sun could be most easily explained if the sun was the centre of the Solar System. How widespread knowledge of scientific astronomy was in Shakespeare's day is difficult to tell, but this was 20 years before Shakespeare's birth, and by the time he was in his prime, it must have spread throughout the academic world. The ignorant and superstitious may have held on to the medieval view that the earth (and specifically Jerusalem) was the centre of the universe, but among academics it was the sun.
