Aristotle viewed the universe as a set of celestial spheres, with the stars in the outermost perfect, incorrupt, and immutable sphere, providing a sense of constancy amidst Earth's changes. Galileo's discoveries challenged the notion of perfection, revealing imperfections and different centers of the cosmos.
