I have been thinking about ancient cultures that had accurate eclipse predictions but everyone thought the sun traveled around the earth. They didnt use their model to make those predictions. They had centuries of data on when eclipses occurred and noticed the time interval pattern. Its the same with comets, we observed the repeating pattern and used that to guess the orbit. With Earth/Sun/Moon you can build accurate predictions using Earth as center but everything gets wonky when you try to add in the other planets. --- "Something's wrong!
