The Galileo Affair and Trouble with the Church
- 1616 - Pope Pius V declared the Earth to be a rest and told Galileo to stop supporting Copernicus's theories.
- Encountered problems with the Church in 1632 when Galileo published a book which he stated the Earth revolves around the sun, going against what the Church believed.
- Was put on trial by the Inquisition of Rome where he was found suspect of heresy and forced say all his findings were wrong. He was imprisoned for a few months, then confined to his Florence home, ending his life in Astronomy.
