Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

In ancient greece people believed that the earth was the center of the universe and all the planets revolved around the earth. This theory was called the geocentric theory. Many greek philosophers and famous ones too such as Aristole believed that the earth is the center of the universe. Aristole made a model showing the earth in the middle from Eudoxus's Model and called The Aristotellian system. he connected 56 spheres to earth to show one for each planet.The geocentric theory came first.
Heliocentricism is the complete opposite of geocentric theory. This theory states that the planets and the earth revolved around the sun.The founders of this statement were Copernicus.People in those days didn't like being wrong and wanted to shutCopernicus up so they said that heliocentrism is aganist every religon in europe. Galileo took up Copernicus's work after he died and because of this he was put on trial. Galileo was then forced to reject the teachings of Copernicus and was exiled from the church for the rest of his life.
