Explanation:

Galileo Galilei  was an Italian astronomer who built the first telescope and discovered the moons of Jupiter. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the catholic church punished scientists because they did not want people questioning its teachings. Since Galilei was the first person to say the Earth rotates around the sun, he was placed on trial.
