There are three essential rules that govern the Geocentric Model. First, and foremost is that earth is at the center of the universe. Secondly, the earth does not move from its position at the center. Lastly, every celestial body moves around the earth in an orbital motion. There are two types of this orbital motion in the geocentric heavens: the stars which are on a celestial sphere moving steadily; and the sun, the moon, and planets moving in a more complex way.

In this model, the order of celestial bodies starting from the center goes Earth, Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. With Neptune and Uranus yet to be discovered. Most today would conclude that the sun is third in the order. But because Mercury and Venus are closer to it than the earth is, so anyone who already assumed the earth was the center would have to believe this sequence.

When viewing the starry sky you may have noticed that planets look brighter or dimmer on different nights, this would imply that they travel in an ovular pattern instead of a circular one. If so it would infringe on the third rule, which is that every celestial body moves around the earth in an orbital motion. To account for the apparent motion of the planets, Ptolemy proposed that each planet moved around an infinitely small imaginary point called an epicycle. And that the epicycle traveled on a circle around the Earth called the deferent.

To summarize the Geocentric Model: It is a model of the universe in which the earth is the center, and everything else circles it. The planets move around imaginary points called epicycles, the stars move around everything else in a reliable slow-moving circle, and the sun and moon move around the earth in a more complex manner.

I was running a section from my essay on Ptolemy through a grammar checker.
 
this makes like 3-4 servings. If you don't like mushrooms you can omit them. If you don't like salty food you can either use white miso instead or start with less red miso at first (and the seaweed adds salt too) Ingredients: two cups dashi (one teaspoon instant dashi per cup water, can be more if you want it fishier) 3-4 dried shiitake, rehydrated (cover with water til squishy, I usually leave them overnight cause lazy but if you use hot water can be 20min) and sliced (discard the stem) 3 tablespoons wakame seaweed, cover with water to rehydrate, then squeeze out excess water (takes ~5min) 1 green onion/scallion, chopped 1 package (~14 oz) tofu 3 tablespoons red miso
Bring the stock to a medium boil (stir well to incorporate the instant dashi) and add the mushrooms. While it boils, cube the tofu. Reduce to a simmer and add the miso (it helps to take some of the stock out into a bowl and dissolve the miso in that bowl, then add it to the soup). Add the tofu and let it absorb the flavours (2-3min), then add the seaweed and stir. Place the green onion into your soup bowl and spoon the soup on top, and enjoy~
Tastes better the second day because the tofu has more time to absorb the flavours but it's still good on day 1

(two different friends wanted my recipe for miso soup)
