Compelling evidence that actually neither the Sun nor the Earth was truly fixed, and all motion was relative, wouldn’t come until centuries later, far after the Copernican Revolution. Sufficiently compelling evidence that the Sun was fixed and the Earth was in motion was slow to come. Rather, it was among methodical scientists who were attempting to radically remake the planetary model to accord with the best evidence available. The rejection of the heliostatic position by many astronomers was not due to some form of stubborn traditionalism in the face of compelling evidence. I wish everyone good health and a solid footing. I feel for those going through hard times during this epidemic.

Additionally, this is a topic important enough for its own article. I intended my thoughts on these matters to serve as an afterward to the comet article, but it dawned on me that they pertain to a separate topic. These terms mean one thing among astrologers, another to the general public, and something a little different and more specific in a scientific context. This led to some additional revelations about the confusing multiple meanings of terms like heliocentric and geocentric. While working on the research for a long article on comets, prompted by the current COVID-19 pandemic, I came across a story about how a comet observed by Tycho Brahe helped to propel the Copernican Revolution forward.
