He also proposed a system that was only approximately geocentric, rather than exactly so, having demonstrated trigonometrically that the Earth was not the exact center of the universe. The discovery and the whole concept of planetary motion is attributed to كبلر and كوبرنيكوس while unfairly not crediting the contribution of Ibn Al-Shatir.
