Galileo's brilliant discoveries (like the discoveries of Jupiter's moons etc.) did not cause an uproar but his unsupported claim that the Sun is at the centre of the Solar System was against Catholic teaching at the time, and he promoted it by ridiculing the Pope and was put on trial, when it became clear there was no proof at that time. When proof was eventually produced, long after Galileo's death, the church accepted the theory.

Galileo's discoveries, such as his support for the Copernican model of the universe, challenged the prevailing belief that the Earth was the center of the universe. This threatened the authority and teachings of the Catholic Church, which had long held that the Earth was at the center. Galileo's ideas were seen as heretical and he was punished by the Church, leading to an uproar over the clash between science and religious authority.
