Wouldn’t it be natural to assume that the Earth lies motionless at thecenter of the universe and that the Sun, the moon, planets, and stars revolve around it? In the 4th century B.C., Platopostulated a world system with the stationary Earth as its hub and a huge outer space that carried the planets and stars inits daily revolution. But his two-sphere configuration could not account for a particular motion of certain planets. As arule, the planets and stars traveled together across the sky every night from east to west. But now and then, inexplicably,some planets seemed to drift backwards. Today we know that retrograde motion is an illusion caused by the fact that weobserve planetary motion from a planet that is itself in motion. It never entered the mind of Eudoxus, a youngcontemporary of Plato’s, that the Earth could actually move. But he did try to accommodate planetary retrogression to themotionless earth by developing from the two-sphere Platonic system a model with twenty-seven spheres, one for everyknown planet; each was attached to another sphere whose rotation, combined with the rotation of the other planetaryspheres, explained the “reversed” direction of certain heavenly bodies.
