"Ptolemaic cosmology (named for Claudius Ptolemaeus, a second-century Alexandrian astronomer) placed the earth at the center of a series of concentric spheres, each of which represented a heavenly body that revolved around the earth in a perfect sphere. This was the dominant model of the heavens for over a millennium, until the Polish astronomer Mikolaj Kopernik -- better known as Nicholas Copernicus -- challenged the old orthodoxies by placing the sun at the center of our solar system in his De revolutionibus orbium caelestium (1543)." I thought the concentric rings were of Platonic/Aristotelean origins. I wonder how Ptolemy got dibs on the name. Hmm.
