The Heliocentric theory is that the sun in the center of the universe and all 9 planets surround the sun. This theory was created my scientist during the Scientific Revolution and may were kill for opposing the Christian church. The Christian Church opposed this because they thought that everything has to surround around them HUMAN are the center of everything because God made us. The geocentric theory is that the earth is the center of the universe and everything surrounds around the earth but this was incorrect but people believed in it because no bothered to see if it was right until Nicolas Copernicus proved it wrong.
Trial of Galileo was about a scientist named Galileo Galileo who wrote a book on the teaching of the Heliocentric theory. He had to face trial against the Holy Church and was forced to say he was wrong. But Galileo refused to say he was wrong because he knew he was right and he couldn't live with a lie. In the end he said he was wrong but when he was walking out the court he said I'm still right and was forced to be housed arrest for the rest of his life.
