Detection and Properties of Planetary Systems
... Proposed a more radical form of the Capellan system where all the other planets orbit the sun, but the sun orbits the stationary earth. Reason: if the earth moved one should observer stellar parallax, which he did not. In a sense, this combined the Copernican and Ptolemaic systems ...

Scientists theorize that stars formed when protostars became so dense that nuclear fusion began in their cores. ...
