Copernicus and the trial of Galieo

Heliocentric is a theory that the sun is located at the center of the solar system. In the 16th century Copernicus made a mathematical model of a heliocentric system. Later on ended up defended by Galileo, making a big disagreement about it. Geocentric is a science where the earth is the center of the solar system and the other planets and the sun revolve around the earth.

The trial of Galileo was a very important trial because it was the trial against Galileo and the catholic church. The reason why he was put to the trial was because he was basically questioning the church. He was questioning them about , how he thinks that the earth did not sit in the center of the universe. He was sent to have house arrest , he was really lucky though because they were going to kill him. Galileo even had discovered a telescope in order to help prove his theory but it did not work.
