The Trail Galileo

Galileo studied Astronomy as soon as the telescope was invented. This was during the 16th cenury and people believed in something called heliocentric. Heliocentric was a theory that explained that the sun was once located in the center of the solarsystem. Galileo believed in something else. He believed that everything revolved around the center of the earth. Even the sun! This was known as Geocentric. Galileo made a Huge disagreement on what other people believed in. He actually disobeyed the catholic church. However this disagreement lead to his trial. Galileo was disagreeing with everything and everyone, even the church. Poeple really trusted and relied on the church back then. Therefore this lead up to his trial.
