The geocentric was the first beliefe about the solor system. This Theory states that the Earth is the center of the universe. This was brought up by the Church in the belief that everything revolves around the Earth. Then came the heliocentric theory that came from the scientific revolution. This theory states that the sun is the center and we revolve around the sun.
The trial of Galileo was done because the Church has a lot of power back then and if they were proven wrong then they would lose power. The Church was putting him on trian because he was contridicting their idea that the universe revled around tge Earth and saying it revolved around the sun. Galileo believed that when what he saw threw his teliscope was the truth (becuase it was) but the Church believed that Earth was the most important and the god mad everthing revolve around it.
