Copernicus and the Trail of Galileo

There was a time when people long before thought that the earth was at the center of the universe but that of course is incorrect. Scientist like Copernican believed that this was incorrect. The theory of believing that the sun is not the center of the universe is called geocentric and the theory of believing that the sun is the center of the universe is called heliocentric. Geocentric came first and it was hard to prove that it was wrong but during the scientific revolution the heliocentric theory was thought about allot within the scientists.
Galileo was sentenced to home imprisonment for that fact that he disagree with the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic church believed that the center of the universe was the earth and he of course believed that was incorrect so they had to take actions and send him to trail in Rome. At 69 years of age he withrew and then was sentenced to home imprisonemt. But he still continued with his science activities.
