Armillary spheres were developed to aid scientific debate, with Earth representing the centre of the Universe in those made according to the Ptolemaic system, and with the Sun as centre in the (later) Copernican model. Our models are of 16th century Ptolemaic versions, so the central body represents the Earth, with the rings around it defining the firmament, or the sphere upon which the fixed stars and planets reside.
