Noticing the gravity will eventually pull all the planets and the universe back together.

Telescopes allowed for a much detailed view of the circular orbits of the planets.

None of the above options are correct. The correct answer is:
Objects seem to move across the sky, and Earth did not feel like it was moving.
The correct answer is:
Objects seem to move across the sky, and Earth did not feel like it was moving.
The correct answer is "Objects seem to move across the sky, and Earth did not feel like it was moving."
People in ancient times observed that objects in the night sky, such as the Sun, Moon, and stars, appeared to move across the sky from east to west. From their perspective, it seemed like these celestial objects were revolving around the Earth. Additionally, people did not feel any sensation of movement on Earth, which reinforced the idea that Earth was not moving.
To get this answer, you would need to have an understanding of the historical context and the prevailing knowledge of the time. Observing the apparent motion of celestial bodies and considering one's own lack of perceived movement would have contributed to the acceptance of the geocentric model of the universe.
