Did newton have a geocentric view of the universe?

No. The geocentric view of the universe, which viewed the Earth as the center of the universe, was challenged by Copernicus in the 1500s. Copernicus realized that the motion of the planets being observed by astronomers could be explained much more simply if the Earth and other planets were all revolving around the sun, rather than the conventional assumption that the planets and the sun were all revolving around the Earth. Issac Newton was born more than 100 years later, by which time Copernicus' ideas were well accepted. One of Newton's great accomplishments was his theory of gravitation, which, among other things, very precisely predicted the orbits of the planets around the sun through the same mathematical equations that describe how objects fall to the ground on Earth. Newton couldn't have made this groundbreaking discovery if he believed in a geocentric view of the universe.
