Copernicus a scientist is said to be the founder of modern astronomy. Up to the time of Copernicus the thinkers of the western world believed in the Ptolemiac theory that the universe was a closed space bounded by a spherical envelope beyond which there.But Copernicus came up with modern idea and presented a new mathematical theory of hileocentric system.Copernicus was never in a hurry of publishing his theory though his world was circulated among few astronomers of that time. And they thought about it and gave him some attention.
And then came galileo and elaborated the idea of copernicus.And he also defended the idea.Galileo was an Italian scientist.His full name is Galileo Galilei.He discoverd that gravity pulled objects towards the earth.he explored the law of motion.Galileo believed that the earth rotated around the sun.
Galileo was put into a trial by catholic church only because he supported the beliefs of Copernicus.The only problem was that the catholics believed in gencentric astronomy ideas because it was proved by bible.Galileo was condemmed to life in prison because he didn't attend the trial.
