Eudoxus, one of Plato's pupils, proposed a universe where all objects in the sky sit on moving spheres, with the Earth at the centre. This model is known as a geocentric model – often named Ptolemaic model after its most famous supporter, the Greco-Roman astronomer Ptolemy.
29 lip 2023 · By scale we mean, for example, the distance between two clusters of galaxies. It is customary to represent the scale by the factor R; if R doubles, then the distance between the clusters has doubled.

A uniformly expanding universe is one that is expanding at the same rate everywhere. In such a universe, we and all other observers, no matter where they are located, must observe a proportionality between the velocities and distances of equivalently remote galaxies.
Introduction. The development of geocentric (Earth-centered) to heliocentric (sun-centered) models of the universe spans time from the ancient Babylonians (4000 BC) to Nicolas Copernicus' (AD 1473–1543) publication of his heliocentric system in 1543.
12 wrz 2013 · One AU is the distance from the sun to the Earth, which is about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers. This artist’s concept puts solar system distances in perspective. The scale bar is in astronomical units, with each set distance beyond 1 AU representing 10 times the previous distance.
