Copernics and Trail of galileo

There are many theories on the solar system back in the 1600's. One was the geocentric model which was a theory of the earth. Aristotle proclaimed that Earth was the center of the universe and all other objects revolved around it. This theory was soon terminated by the heliocentric theory. The heliocentric theory was a theory that the sun was the center of the universe and all other planets were revolving it. The correct theory was the heliocentric theory.

In the year of 1633 the time of the Italian Renaissance there was a big trail between the Catholic Church and the scientist named Galileo Galilei. The trail was about that the Catholic Church said that the earth was the center of the earth and Galileo disagree with them. Galileo was then put to trail going against the Catholic Church and lost because back then the Catholic used to say what was right and nobody can disagree with them. The Catholic Church gave Galileo jail for life.
