Considering his work and time of his education he would most certainly be Sun centred.
The Moon is the object that orbits Earth in both the Earth-centered (geocentric) and Sun-centered (heliocentric) models of our solar system. In the geocentric model, the Moon orbits around the Earth, while in the heliocentric model, both the Earth and the Moon orbit the Sun, with the Moon continuing to orbit the Earth as it does so.

The Hubble Space Telescope orbits Earth at an altitude of about 547 kilometers (340 miles). The distance from the Sun to Earth varies due to Earth's elliptical orbit, but on average it is about 149.6 million kilometers (93 million miles).
the Hubble doesn't orbit the earth, it orbits the sun slowly fling farther and farther into space.
The heliocentric, or Sun-centered, system was first theorized by Nicolaus Copernicus.
Edwin Hubble
No! It is heliocentric, or sun centered.
Earth orbits the Sun, along with the other planets making up the solar system. However, the Sun is only a part of some hundred billion stars, with their own solar systems, that make up our galaxy.
The Moon is the object that orbits Earth in both the Earth-centered (geocentric) and Sun-centered (heliocentric) models of our solar system. In the geocentric model, the Moon orbits around the Earth, while in the heliocentric model, both the Earth and the Moon orbit the Sun, with the Moon continuing to orbit the Earth as it does so.
That would be the moon. We've never thought of it that way ... the only object whose status didn't change between the geocentric and heliocentric model. Thanks for showing it to us.
Copernicus
No Nicolaus Copernicus did not believe in the earth centered theory he believed that the earth and other planets center and revolve around the sun.

Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope is significantly smaller than both the Sun and the Earth. The Hubble telescope is about 13.3 meters (43.5 feet) long and has a diameter of 2.4 meters (7.9 feet) for its primary mirror. In contrast, the Earth has a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers (7,918 miles), and the Sun's diameter is approximately 1.4 million kilometers (864,000 miles), making both celestial bodies many orders of magnitude larger than Hubble.
The Earth-centered solar system was thought to be sun-centered in the 16th century by astronomers such as Nicolaus Copernicus. Copernicus published his model in 1543, proposing that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the solar system. This heliocentric model eventually gained acceptance over the previously held geocentric model.
The sun does not orbit the earth and moon. The moon orbits the earth and both orbit the sun.
