Giordano Bruno was burned for heresy and blasphemy in 1600, which predates the verdict against Galileo on similar charges (for which he was imprisoned but not burned) in 1633. The astronomical theories (as opposed to purely religious or theological opinions) for which he was charged included "plurality of worlds" - the hypothesis that the Earth orbits the sun, and that the stars and the sun are of similar nature, from which he speculated that other stars might also have planets orbiting them, including planets able to support life.
