Not quite. The planets always were noticed to move oddly and strange
mathematic formulae were developed to predict their movement across the sky.
Galeleo and Copernicus both tried to introduce the concept of a helio
centric model, which was rejected at those times...at quite some cost or
threat.

The ephemeral charts do not describe the orbit of the sun around the earth,
but rather where the sun should be relative to earthly perspective. An
ephemeris for navigation and where to find objects in the sky if you are on
the surface of the earth, where I presume you are.
