To Riccioli the question was not between the geocentric world system of Ptolemy and the heliocentric world system of Copernicus, for the telescope had unseated the Ptolemaic system ; it was between the geo-heliocentric world system developed by Tycho Brahe in the 1570s ( in which the sun, moon, and stars circle an immobile Earth, while the planets circle the sun – sometimes called a " geo-heliocentric " or " hybrid " system ) and that of Copernicus.

Under Jesuit scientists Giovanni Battista Riccioli and Niccolo Zucchi the young Bartoli, together with his younger contemporary Francesco Maria Grimaldi was involved in noteworthy experiments and discoveries of the planetary heavens.
Between 1640 and 1650, working with Riccioli, he investigated the free fall of objects, confirming that the distance of fall was proportional to the square of the time taken.
In astronomy, he built and used instruments to measure lunar mountains as well as the height of clouds, and drew an accurate map or, selenograph, which was published by Riccioli and now adorns the entrance to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D. C.
Giovanni Battista Riccioli ( 17 April 1598 – 25 June 1671 ) was an Italian astronomer and a Catholic priest in the Jesuit order.

One of the most famous Italian Jesuits of the time, Giuseppe Biancani ( 1565 – 1624 ), was teaching at Parma when Riccioli arrived there.

By counting the number of pendulum swings that elapsed between transits of certain stars, Riccioli was able to experimentally verify that the period of a pendulum swinging with small amplitude is constant to within two swings out of 3212 ( 0. 062 %).
Riccioli said that for measuring time a pendulum was not a perfectly reliable tool, but in comparison with other methods it was an exceedingly reliable tool.
With pendulums to keep time ( sometimes augmented by a chorus of Jesuits chanting in time with a pendulum to provide an audible timer ) and a tall structure in the form of Bologna's Torre de Asinelli from which to drop objects, Riccioli was able to engage in precise experiments with falling bodies.
Riccioli and between
Riccioli noted that while these differences did contradict Galileo's claim that balls of differing weight would fall at the same rate, it was possible Galileo observed the fall of bodies made of the same material but of differing sizes, for in that case the difference in fall time between the two balls is much smaller than if the balls are of same size but differing materials, or of the same weight but differing sizes, etc., and that difference is not apparent unless the balls are released from a very great height.
Riccioli and geocentric
" However, after the advent of the telescope showed problems with some geocentric models ( by demonstrating that Venus circles the sun, for example ), the Tychonic system and variations on that system became very popular among geocentrists, and the Jesuit astronomer Giovanni Battista Riccioli would continue Tycho's use of physics, stellar astronomy ( now with a telescope ), and religion to argue against heliocentrism and for Tycho's system well into the seventeenth century ( see Riccioli ).
Riccioli and world
Riccioli argued that the problems with Galileo's conjecture were a mark against the Copernican world system, but modern writers differ in regards to Riccioli's reasoning on this.
Riccioli and system
As the frontispiece of the New Almagest illustrates ( see figure at right ), Riccioli favoured a modified version of Tycho Brahe's system ; here is how he described the system that " came to mind " when he was in Parma: " it shares everything with the Tychonian system, except the orbits of Saturn and Jupiter ; for their center was not the Sun, but Earth itself ".
Riccioli argued vigorously against the Copernican system, and even characterized certain arguments for terrestrial immobility as unanswerable, but he also rebutted some anti-Copernican arguments, invoking counterarguments from the Copernicans.
A system of rilles named the Rimae Riccioli lies across the interior, and is still visible despite the deposited ejecta.
This was a factor in the choice of the crater's name when Giovanni Riccioli was creating his system of lunar nomenclature, as Kepler used the observations of Tycho Brahe while devising his three laws of planetary motion.
Riccioli and heliocentric
Riccioli accepted Kepler's ideas, but remained opposed to the heliocentric theory.
Riccioli and Copernicus
Riccioli is quoted as having " flung Copernicus into the Ocean of Storms " ( Oceanus Procellarum ); nevertheless in naming one of the most prominent craters on the Moon for the man, he may have indicated his true intent.
Although Riccioli rejected the Copernican theory, he named a prominent lunar crater " Copernicus ", and he named other important craters after other proponents of the Copernican theory such as Kepler, Galileo and Lansbergius.
Riccioli and for
Riccioli built an astronomical observatory in Bologna at the College of St. Lucia, equipped with many instruments for astronomical observations, including telescopes, quadrants, sextants, and other traditional instruments.
On one of these maps, Riccioli provided names for lunar features — names which are the basis for the nomenclature of lunar features still in use today.
Riccioli named large lunar areas for weather.

Riccioli discusses the physico-mathematical argument in terms of arguments both for and against Earth's motion.
Riccioli then calculated the physical size that the stars they measured must have in order for them to both be as far away as was required in the Copernican theory to show no parallax, and have the sizes seen with the telescope.
Perhaps for this reason Riccioli has at times been portrayed as a secret Copernican — someone whose position as a Jesuit necessitated opposition to the Copernican theory.
The appearance of the physico-mathematical argument in the Reformed Astronomy was the occasion for Stefano degli Angeli ( 1623 – 1697 ) to launch an " unexpected, somewhat disrespectful and sometimes flippant attack " on Riccioli and the argument.
Between 1644 and 1656, Riccioli was occupied by topographical measurements, working with Grimaldi, determining values for the circumference of Earth and the ratio of water to land.
