Heliocentrism is the "truth" discovered by Galileo that is depicted burning in the fire with him. Heliocentrism is the idea that Earth and the other planets in our galaxy revolve around the Sun. The fire in the picture represents the sun, with the surrounding people representing the planets and the Earth's moon. Hope this helped!
In his 1615 ''Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina,'' Galileo says that the search for truth is important because it ''stimulates the investigation,...
He claimed the Moon was not smooth-surfaced, but uneven and rough.
It was not about modelling, it was about reality. Galileo was put in jail for heresy after he continued to say publicly that the Copernican model was the absolute truth, after he had been told by the church that he could use it and teach it only as a model to represent the planets. The model that is now accepted by everyone including the church is the one discovered by Kepler in 1609, which Galileo did not accept at the time because it uses elliptical orbits instead of the perfect circles of the Copernican theory.
Galileo Galilei became blind because of the combination of cataracts and glaucoma. It is also believed that he may have gone blind from using his telescope to look at the sun. But, he discovered that the sun had spots because of this.
He showed that the geo-centric view of our solar system did not match observation, but that the helio-centric view did. More fundamentally, Galileo Galilei led the way to a view that observation should take precedence over philosophy when determining truth about our world.
Galileo believed in the truth of the copernican theory, which stated that the sun was the center of the universe.

he believed in the truth of observation & reason
He claimed the Moon was not smooth-surfaced, but uneven and rough.
Galileo is still missed by people, even today. He is and was missed not only for his intellect and contribution to the community and the sciences, but for his unshakable resolve against insurmountable odds that the truth was still the truth, no matter what obstacles were placed in his path.
i don't no
On June 22, 1633, after an inquisition, Galileo Galilei was convicted of the crime of believing something in conflict with God's truth and knowledge. Specifically, for believing the Earth revolves around the Sun.
Galileo used his telescope to find evidence that Earth is not the center of the universe. This discovery contradicted the teachings of the Catholic Church, suggesting that religion was not the only guide to truth.
He is, without a doubt, the most perfect being on this planet. Fictional, or not.--The truth is that he is a figment of the imagination. His original character (the one depicted in the series) is abusive and controlling.

His theory was the heliocentric theory, meaning the idea that the Sun is the center of the universe. He was proven wrong when it was discovered that the stars are basically other suns, but it was a step closer to the truth than the at the time supported geocentric theory.
no there is no moral duty in telling the world the truth.
