Hold on a minute! There was a whole chapter in the Sil about the two Maia, (the feminine for the sun and the masculine for the moon, I can't remember their names) that guided the Sun and Moon around the Earth, not the Earth moving around the sun. Maybe this is just a myth, but most of the Sil is considered fact by the Elves, so why not this?
