Glossary term: 地心說
Description: 早期的宇宙模型是地心說，把地球置於宇宙中心，月球、太陽和行星相對於 "固定 "恆星圍繞地球運動。在古代的許多文化中，地心說與把太陽置於中心的日心說並存。托勒密體系是一個頗具影響力的地心模型，它以公元 2 世紀的天文學家克勞迪烏斯-托勒密的名字命名。在歐洲、北非和中東地區的一千多年裡，它一直是最著名的宇宙模型。16 世紀晚期，人們開始轉向日心說，這個學說通常與尼古拉斯-哥白尼（Nicolaus Copernicus）這一名字聯繫在一起。今天，我們知道太陽系只是眾多此類系統中的一個，當然也不是宇宙的中心。實際上，對天空的地心描述仍在使用，但只是作為一種計算在特定時間從特定地點可以看到哪些天體的方法。

A Geocentric chart from 1568
Caption: This map, created in 1568 by the Portuguese cartographer Bartolomeu Velho, depicts the worldview of the time, when many scholars believed in a geocentric model of the cosmos — the idea that Earth sits at the centre of the Universe with the Sun, Moon, the five planets known at the time, and stars moving around it. Although primarily a navigational chart, the design and layout of this map were influenced by astronomical understanding rooted in geocentric thinking.
The geocentric model was widely accepted for many centuries, especially in Europe, based on interpretations of celestial motions and philosophical traditions that placed Earth at the centre. It was only later, with observations by astronomers such as, Galileo Galilei, that this model was replaced by the heliocentric model, which places the Sun at the centre of the Solar System.
