Best Answer

In 1633 the Roman Catholic Church forced Galileo to stand trial for his belief that the Earth moves around the Sun. Galileo had to publicly denounce the idea and was sentenced to life imprisonment. He spent the the rest of his life under house arrest. Galileo became blind before he died at Arcetri, near Florence, on January 8, 1642.
