Models of the Universe [Geocentric to Heliocentric] · 8:52 · Video: Mike Sammartano · Watch at the source

In short: Explore how humanity’s understanding of our place in the cosmos shifted from a geocentric view to a heliocentric one. This overview traces the evolution of celestial models for students and curious minds alike.

The video explores the historical transition between two primary astronomical frameworks: the geocentric model, which places Earth at the center of the universe, and the heliocentric model, which positions the Sun as the central point. It provides a chronological look at how these models evolved over time.

Designed for middle and high school science students and NYS Regents preparation, the content serves as an educational guide to help learners grasp the fundamental shifts in Earth Science history.
