Though he never left Italy, his inventions and discoveries were heralded around the world. Most sensationally, his telescopes allowed him to reveal a new reality in the heavens and to reinforce the astounding argument that the Earth moves around the Sun. For this belief, he was brought before the Holy Office of the Inquisition, accused of heresy, and forced to spend his last years under house arrest."bprovided by the publisher.8 a1530bLexile.10aGalilei, Galileo,d1564-1642.tCorrespondence.92071110aGalilei, Maria Celeste,d1600-1634vCorrespondence.920712 0aAstronomerszItalyvBiography.92071342zCornerstones of Science websiteuhttp:// www.cornerstonesofscience.org/  2ddccBOOK  c2715d2715  4070aABELJbabeljcBd2016-10-26l0oB GALIp17753r2016-10-26v14.00w2016-10-26yBOOK
