The center of earth

For over 1000 years many people believe that the ancient greeks and the bible when they stated that the earth was in the center of the univerise. This was known as the geocentric theory. People believe that the planets and the stars all went around the earth.


In the 1500 hunderds, Nicolaus Copernicus he discoverd that the earth was not in the center of the univerise but the sun was the center of the univerise. This was known as the geocentric theory. Today all scientists believe in the geocentric theory.

After copernicus, Galileo used a telescope to discover that the earth was not in the center of the univerise. When he said this publicly, the church put galileo on trial and he was forced to say that he was wrong even though he knew that he was right.
