There was two theories the first one was the theory of geocentrism. This theory was believed that the earth was the center of the universe and not the sun. The people just believed the word the priest said and the people also believed this theory because when they looked up to space they saw the sky going in circles(rotating).
The second theory was heliocentrism. This theory was invented in the time of the scientific revolution. This theory says that the universe revolves around the sun. Scientist saw this when they observed that different shapes were formed from the moon and planets.
Galileo believed in heliocentrism. He wanted could prove this because he invented items such as the telescope and he could see outer space from his house. The pope was believed in geocentrism so he was said to be guilty and was placed on house arrest. The time when the people found out that Galileo was right was too late. Galileo was dead.
