The Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra, Volume One is a 1965 (see 1965 in music) album by the jazz musician Sun Ra. The three albums of the Heliocentric Worlds series (Volumes One, Two and Three) are widely ranked among Sun Ra's greatest works, with avant-garde and free jazz flourishes rounding out his always eccentric and always far-out musical themes.
