Geocentrism hides in the assumptions that support conventional astronomy. The result is unexpected observations and failed predictions.
A recent ESO (European Southern Observatory) press release announced that the “lightest exoplanet” ever discovered is orbiting a nearby red dwarf star. The planet has less than twice the mass of the Earth, and its “year” is about three days long. It is, “very likely, a rocky planet.”
Another planet in the same system orbits within the star’s “habitable zone” and “could even be covered by a large and deep ocean.”
Or not.
