Dear Paul, I'm not doubting what is said; its just that I thought that elliptical planetary orbits were a device to explain a heliocentric cosmos. Could Neville perhaps help here?

I don't know. But it is accurately described by Kepler and Newton. How. If you shoot a rocket off in the right direction at the right velocity and track its progress, you'll find it is an ellipse. The space agencies of the world rely upon it and it works. Plus of course, all orbits are found to be ellipses if you can accept that the universe operates according to rules ("God doesn't play dice") and that the Earth also moves in an ellipse. If you can't accept this, then I have no answer for you and neither does anyone else.

In other words can this be worked out experimentally?
