Aristotle concluded from his observations of the celestial bodies that the Earth is at the center of the universe, a belief that is known as the geocentric model. He reasoned that because the sun, stars, planets, and the moon appeared to rise in the east and set in the west, they must be moving around a stationary Earth. This model was widely accepted in Western astronomy for many centuries until the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus gained prominence. Additionally, Aristotle believed that the heavens were perfect and unchanging, contrasting the imperfection and change observed on Earth.
