This mini-documentary traces the contributions of Aristotle, Ptolemy, Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler and Galileo to our understanding of the motions of the stars and planets. The mini-documentary also shows how the accepted view of the universe gradually shifted from a geocentric (Earth-centered) to a heliocentric (Sun-Centered) view of the solar system with planets moving along elliptical orbits.
