Kinda weird to put the sun in the center imo. Cause we're not the center of it all. But if you put the earth in the center and started spacing out from there it would be pretty cool IMHO
I guess we are trained to see the sun as the center due to historic reasons. Really helps with not assuming everything revolves around us.
But the sun also provides a Bright center for the drawing so there is some artistic merit, I believe.
Why is it weirder to put the sun at the center than to put the earth at the center?
Well if Earth is at the center than this is everything we can see in the observable galaxy from our viewpoint. Having it this way seems like out solar system is the center of it all
We kind of had that discussion in the 16th century, really.
that was about the solar system though, not the observable universe
Just for artistic reasons so it can look like an eye
