459. Has the Copernican system been accepted by all astronomers?
As opposed to the geocentric system of Ptolemy, Copernicus taught the heliocentric system, holding that the earth revolves around the sun. He arrived at that idea as a result of his studies of the movements of the sun and moon and planets which he undertook in the interests of reforming the calendar. And his conclusion has been accepted by all astronomers. No one today would dream of disputing it.
Incredible! Hard to believe such a good work as Radio Replies would put forth such a scandalously erroneous answer as they clearly do above. I checked it out for myself at
