Copernicus and The Trial of Galileo

The Geocentric and Heliocentric theories are that were made in the 1500's. The Geocentric theory is that the center of the universe is the earth. The Heliocentric theory is another that the sun is at the center of the universe-and earth isn't at the center. The Geocentric theory came first then Galileo had and idea that maybe we aren't at center of the universe. He a tested that theory and it he was right we aren't at the center of the universe. He told the Church that we aren't in the center of the universe that the sun is. so they put him on trail for going against the catholic church.
