You should take a gander at the swarm of ellipses present in a geocentric system a la Ptolemy. Even more fun is the wild, Etch-A-Sketch in the sky traced by the Moon and planets when viewed over time from a geostationary perspective.

LOL! I have taken the gander, and seen why the Ptolemaic system lies defunct on the far side Occam's razor from the surviving Galilean Model.
