Answered by GPT-4o mini
The model of the solar system that portrayed the Earth as fixed in a crystalline sphere is associated with **Claudius Ptolemy**, an ancient Greek astronomer. In his geocentric model, which was elaborated in the work known as the **Almagest**, Ptolemy described the Earth as the center of the universe, surrounded by a series of concentric crystalline spheres that held the moon, planets, and stars. This model dominated astronomical thought for many centuries until the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus gained acceptance.
