The observation that indicates that Aristotle's geocentric model was flawed is:
**- objects in the sky appear in different areas of the sky each night.**
This observation suggests that the heavens do not revolve around the Earth in a simple manner, as Aristotle's model proposed. Instead, it implies that celestial objects have their own motions and positions relative to one another, contributing to the eventual understanding of heliocentrism and the complexity of celestial mechanics. In contrast, the other observations can be explained within the geocentric framework, albeit with some limitations.
