The image at the top right shows two masses orbiting around a common center, called 'barycenter' in astronomy. The barycenter is the center of mass of two bodies. Such is the situation for planets orbiting stars, for example the earth orbiting the moon, and moons orbiting planets, for example the moon circling around the earth.
This center of gravity is not exactly in the center of the heavier body. For the earth and the moon, the common center of mass is a point approximately 1,710 km (1062 miles) below the surface of the Earth.[1]
When you look at the picture, you can imagine the smaller body orbiting around the heavier body, but you can also see the larger body orbiting around the smaller one, depending on what viewpoint you take. Actually, they are both orbiting around the common center.
I show this picture because it is illustrative for the relationship of two central figures of faith, one more central and the other one seemingly in a subordinate position. In reality, they are not only relating to each other but to a common center that they together create.
