I think that it was expected to make the first telescope.
Copernicus
Galileo suffered a trail and house arrest.
It happened after Galileo published a book supporting the heliocentric theory that portrayed the Pope as a simpleton. The official view still supported the scriptural teaching that the Earth was at the centre. The church was unwilling to change its ideas until there was good evidence, which science did not have until the 18th century, so Galileo was taken to court, the lack of evidence was exposed and he recanted. The heliocentric theory, with the Sun at the centre, was eventually accepted when the evidence for it was discovered, which happened well after Galileo's lifetime.
Pope Paul V and Cardinal Bellarmine forced Galileo to recant many of his ideas. These ideas included the idea that the earth revolved around the sun.
His ideas went against their beleifs, that the Earth was the center of the universe and he agreed with ideas of Copernicus.
Galileo performed experiments to test his ideas.
