Copernicus and the the trail of Galileo




The Geocentric Theory first came out by the Catholic church in 1616. The the Heliocentric Theory came out by Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler. I think reason why the church put him on trail was because the church believed that the earth was the universe and they didn't like the fact a scientist was going against them. The church had never had anyone go against before. In the trail of Galileo Aristotle was the lawyer for Galileo and the Pope during the trail was Maffeo Barberini
