Copernicus and the Trial of Galileo

First came the idea of a geocentric universe. That was the idea of the universe revolving around the earth, and Aristotle and Ptolmey both supported this. Afterwards, during the scientific revolution, Copernicus and Galileo both supported the heliocentric theory. That was the idea of the sun being in the center of the universe. Galileo Galilei proposed this theory to the Roman Catholic Church. After a trial, he was sentanced to house arrest. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest and died there.
