OCR: GEOCENTRIC UNIVERSE THE THEORY OF A geocentric universe is a theory of the structure of the Universe that proposes that the Earth is stationary at its center, with the planets, moons, and stars in orbit around it. The geocentric system was based on the writings of Ptolemy (c, AD 90-168 ) and was generally accepted until the 17th century.
