Sun as center of the Universe

Johannes Kepler published his first two laws about planetary motion in 1609, having found them by
analyzing the astronomical observations of Tycho Brahe. Kepler's third law was published in
1619.] The first law was "The orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.

His observations of the satellites of Jupiter created a revolution in astronomy: a planet with smaller
planets orbiting it did not conform to the principles of Aristotelian Cosmology, which held that all
heavenly bodies should circle the Earth

For Newton, it was not precisely the centre of the Sun or any other body that could be considered at
rest, but rather "the common centre of gravity of the Earth, the Sun and all the Planets is to be
esteem'd the Centre of the World", and this centre of gravity "either is at rest or moves uniformly
forward in a right line"

Milky Way's Galactic Center as center of the Universe

In 1785, William Herschel proposed such a model based on observation and measurement,
[18]
 leading to scientific acceptance of galactocentrism, a form of heliocentrism with the Sun at the
center of the Milky Way.

The nonexistence of a center of the Universe

Curtis became a proponent of the so-called "island Universes" hypothesis, which held that objects
previously believed to be spiral nebulae within the Milky Way were actually independent galaxies
