Galactocentrism is the astronomical concept that focuses on the position and significance of the Milky Way galaxy, particularly the Earth's location within it. It is often contrasted with the heliocentric model, which places the Sun at the center of our solar system. In the context of galactocentrism, researchers study the structure, dynamics, and evolution of the Milky Way, as well as the nature and distribution of stars, planets, and other celestial objects within our galaxy.
