copernicus and the trial of galileo

When you think of the solar system, there are two important theories you should know about, heliocentric and geocentric. When you break the words down they go to their Greek meanings. In Heliocentric: Helios is the Greek word for sun. While in Geocentric; Geo is Greek for earth. In both words: Centric comes from Kentron which is the Greek word for center. Geocentric means that the earth is the center of the universe and everything revolves around it. Heliocentric is a little different than that. It states that the sun is the center of the universe and everything revolves around it instead of the earth. Obviously both of these theories are not true. The Geocentric theory may have come first but it is not the correct one.
During the 16th century a scientist created a model of this years later. this was not taken for consideration until years later. Galileo Galilei was a famous astronomer,philosopher, and a physicist. He played a very important role in the scientific revolution. In 1630 Galileo published the "Dialogue on the Two Chief Systems of the World." He took up the theories of copernicus and converted an experiment. Unlike the geocentric theory Galileo was able to support heliocentrism with knoowing facts and evidence from his studies of physics and his findings through his telescope that was placed in his garden. After he had tried to make this theory to affect he was placed under arrest by the catholic church. They did not believed that his theory was correct and teach another was not legal. They believed the theory Aristole. He had to renounce his theory and his book was banned by the catholic church.He was first first life in prison but was later altered to life house arrest.
