Original review summary

The review says Ala Hazrat’s cited view was that Earth is stationary while the Sun and other planets revolve around it. It explains that NASA’s barycenter account says the Sun, Earth and planets orbit a common center of mass; this does not mean Earth is static or that the Sun revolves around Earth.[S1]
