Feedback

The Moon had basins and elevations, not a flawless sphere.

Ptolemy thought heavens were perfect, unblemished.

Craters showed irregular surfaces contradicting perfection.

The ancient view favored flawless, unblemished forms.

Imperfect surfaces pointed to a non-geocentric view.

If moon isn’t perfect, geocentric assumptions falter.

Craters indicate raised rims and pits, not perfection.

Impact or void features create circular depressions.

Observations opened acceptance of irregularities.

Empirical evidence transformed astronomy away from Aristotle–Ptolemy.
