Galileo Galilei was not executed, but was placed on house arrest after he was forced by the Inquisition to recant his beliefs that the Sun was the center of the universe, not the Earth. They threatened him with death for heresy if he did not admit to being wrong.

No, his death sentence was commuted when he (partially) recanted his "round earth hypothesis". He was placed under permanent house arrest and died a within a short while (I think it was less than a year later but don't quote me on that).
