There are but 2 main theories of the solar system. Geocentric, and heliocentric. Geocentric is the theory that the Earth is THE center of the solar system, and all the stars, moons, and planets revolve around it. Heliocentric is the theory that involves the sun at the center of the solar system, and all things revolve around it.
The geocentric theory came first, and of course the heliocentric followed after. During the Scientific Revolution.... the heliocentric theory was being accepted by many astronomers first presented by Copernicus then defended by others.
Now Galileo, a believer of Copernicus planetary system, basically.... the heliocentric theory, was forced to stand trial against the Roman Inquisition. The Catholic Church. The church believed in the geocentric theory, and poor Galileo was sent to life imprisonment.... for the rest of his life.... till his days end....forever.....until he dies. Life Imprisonment. Only until 1992 did the Church admitted they were wrong with dealing Galileo. Over 400 years after his death, I'm sure he'd be happy......
If he was alive.
