geocentrically

/ˌdʒioʊˈsɛntɹɪkəli/ adv

in a geocentric manner

Word Origin Geocentrically is built from Greek gē 'earth' and kentron 'sharp point, center' — so it's literally 'earth-centered.' The old geocentric model put Earth at the center of the universe, and the same centr- root gives us center, central, and eccentric (off-center). The geo- prefix connects it to geography and geology.
