Galileo's support for heliocentrism conflicted with the geocentric view held by the Church at that time.

Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei challenged the idea of the Earth-centered universe with the heliocentric model, which placed the Sun at the center of the solar system.

What is helocentrism?
Heliocentrism is the astronomical model that places the Sun at the center of the solar system, with the planets, including Earth, orbiting around it. This model was proposed by Copernicus in the 16th century, challenging the previously accepted geocentric model where Earth was considered the center of the universe. The acceptance of heliocentrism revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos.
