The old pictures of how the Sun, Earth and planets are arranged, namely the geocentric model with Earth at the centre and heliocentrism with the Sun at the centre.

Members are placed here from their own cited Wikipedia articles, each with a verbatim supporting quotation, so a reader can check why an entry sits in this group. The grouping forms part of the browse path for this section of the atlas.
