I used it to make this picture of the apparent geocentric orbits, showing the epicycles of Jupiter. It shows how the movement of the planets appears to us from earth, with the annual retrograde motion causing the loops as earth speeds past the outer planets. Jupiter gets back to its original position after 11.85 years, and by turning on tracing you can see this picture of nearly six years of Jupiter's apparent motion.
They tried to make the geocentric system work. I mean, really tried.

Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?

Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?

Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

Here's what the night sky would look like observed from a fixed position. Not being forced to rotate with the earth.
