  • Claudius Ptolemy and the Geocentric Model of the Universe
    The astronomer who described Earth as the center of the universe is Claudius Ptolemy.

    He developed the geocentric model of the universe, which placed Earth at the center with the Sun, Moon, and stars orbiting around it. This model was accepted for over 1400 years until it was challenged by the heliocentric model of Nicolaus Copernicus.
