 An ancient Greece, astronomer and
mathematician Claudius Ptolemy (A.D.
90–168) set up a model of the solar
system in which the sun, stars, and
other planets revolved around Earth.
90-168 A.D. Known as the Geocentric model, it
remained in place for hundreds of years,
though it turned out to be wrong.
"Geo" means Earth
"Centric" means centre
In this model, Earth is at the
centre of the Solar System
Earth is stationary and all the
objects such as the Sun and
planets revolve around the
Earth in circular orbits
 COPERNICUS
Nicolaus Copernicus, (1473 - 1543)
a Polish astronomer, mathematician,
economist and doctor, proposed a
model of the solar system that
involved the Earth revolving around
the sun
1473 - 1543
 Heliocentric model
"Helio" means the Sun
"Centric" means centre
The planets revolve around the Sun
Thus Mercury, Venus, the Earth, Mars, Jupiter and
Saturn all revolve around the sun.
The moon is the only celestial sphere in this system
which revolves around the earth, and, together
with it, around the sun.
 There are several things that Tycho Brahe
discovered. These include the geo-heliocentric
model (the Tychonic system), the supernova (very
bright star), and the greater altitude of stars
observed near the horizon due to refraction.
Tycho Brahe proposed a theory of the solar
system, which contained elements of both the
Earth-centred Ptolemaic system and the Sun-
centred Copernican system. In his theory, the
1546-1601 other planets revolved around the Sun, which
itself revolved around Earth.
 QUOTES!
Tycho Brahe died in 1601. His last words, "Ne
frusta vixisse vidar" (May I not seemed to have
lived in vain") were recorded by his assistant
Kepler.
 Johannes Kepler (1571–1630), a German
astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer,
determined that planets traveled around the sun,
not in circles, as Copernicus had thought, but in
ellipses. In so doing, he calculated three laws
involving the motions of planets that astronomers
still use in calculations today.

1571–1630
 Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer,
physicist and engineer, sometimes described as
a polymath.
Galileo's discoveries about the Moon, Jupiter's
moons, Venus, and sunspots supported the idea
that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of
1564-1642 the Universe, as was commonly believed at the
time. Galileo's work laid the foundation for
today's modern space probes and telescopes.
