AI overview

I cannot write the overview because the context provided only includes an image caption identifying it as an illustration of the Copernican system, without any explanatory text about heliocentrism itself. To write an accurate overview based only on the given context would require factual content not present in that source.

Heliocentrism (also known as the heliocentric model) is a superseded astronomical model in which at the center of the universe the Earth and the planets orbit around the Sun. It superseded geocentrism. In modern astronomy there are only frames of references.
