Basically. He was put in prison for proving that the sun was in the centre of the universe (well it's not really but you know), and the bible said differently, so he was put under arrest for heresy or something. He somehow got out of life imprisonment and instead was just under house arrest until he died.

Who was famously put under house arrest because he challenged the Catholic Church and its teachings by introducing new scientific ideas?

Galileo Galilei was famously put under house arrest for challenging the Catholic Church's teachings by advocating for the heliocentric model of the solar system, which posited that the Earth revolves around the Sun. His support for this idea contradicted the Church's geocentric view, leading to his trial by the Roman Inquisition in 1633. Despite his groundbreaking contributions to astronomy and physics, he was forced to recant his views and spent the remainder of his life under house arrest.


Was Galileo rewarded by the Pope for his belief in the heliocentric theory?

No. Galileo Galilei was put under house arrest for life, during an inquisition by the Catholic Church, for claiming that the Earth was not the centre of the Universe, as was the widely held view at the time.He was also excommunicated (meaning in the eyes of the Church he was destined to go to hell). The Vatican only revoked the excommunication in the mid 1990s. Better late than never.
