Laika orbited Earth for seven days.

John Glenn orbited the Earth three times in 1962.

In 1968 on December 21, Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders carried out the first Apollo mission which orbited the Moon.

During Galileo's time, the Catholic Church was very powerful and it taught that the Earth was the center of the universe. Galileo was told not to write or say that the Earth orbited the Sun.

In 1632, Galileo published a book that said the Earth orbited the Sun. The Catholic Church arrested him and put him on trial.

Collins, who remained in the Apollo command module while his fellow astronauts Aldrin and Armstrong landed on the moon, said he was very happy being alone in the spacecraft as it orbited the moon.

Earth is orbited by a large number of satellites.

U.S. astronaut John Glenn first orbited the Earth 50 years ago on February 20, 1962, and when he returned, an adoring public greeted him, along with a burgeoning U.S. space program that propelled men to the Moon in 1969.
