his contributions to astronomy and physics made him famous. He supposedly taught theories that contradicted Aristotle's theories and was eventually put in jail especially for his theory that the earth was not the center of the universe. From what I know, Galileo wasn't put in jail. He was just put on house arrest for the last 9 years of his life. Sine he was very famous.

∙ 13y agoGalileo tested the denseity of gravity and tried to prove that the Sun was the center of our Solar Syatem. His true findings were discouraged because the supposed "true" story of the Earth being the center of the Solar System was partly based on The Bible. Anytime Galileo was caught trying to prove himself, he was sent to court and a few times to prison. Thanks to Glileo we know much more about our space now, but there is much more to explore.
