There are two theories of the solar system, the geocentric and the heliocentric. The geocentric was the first theory that was made where scientist thought that the earth was in the middle of the universe. Everyone thought that the earth was in the middle and other planets revolved around the earth. After 1,800 years the heliocentric theory was opposed to the geocentric theory. The heliocentric theory was said that the earth is not in the middle of the universe that the sun is. All the planets revolve around the sun not the earth. Heliocentric theory is the correct theory because after scientist did more testes about the geocentric theory they notice that the earth is not in the middle. They have figured out that the sun is in the middle.
The Galileo trail was about Galileo proving that the earth is not the center of the universe. He went against the scripture of the bible. He used his telescope to conform that the sun is in the center. Galileo was found guilty and his work was forbidden from being published and others reading his words. The Catholic Church was putting him on trial publishing his book about the sun being in the center. As the Pope Urban had said through his interpretation of the scripture. Galileo believed in the sun being in the center while the church didn't.
