Re: A rotating Earth?



Tycho Brahe's model was geostatic, combining parts of the geocentric and the
heliocentric models. Brahe pictured the Sun and the moon (and presumably
the stars) orbiting around the earth, but the planets rotated around the
sun.

Kepler, using Brahe's own data on Mars, showed that the geostatic model was
not correct.
