: [[Galileo]] noticed in the [[observation]]s that there were 4 [[moon]]s that seemed to [[orbit]] [[Jupiter]] which proved [[Ptolemy]]'s [[Geocentric Model]] of [[The Solar System]] was not true because not everything [[orbit]]ted the [[Earth]].
: [[Galileo]] then went on to claim that the [[Earth]] was not the centre of [[The Solar System]] but the [[Sun]] was the centre and the [[planet]]s [[orbit]]ted the [[Sun]].
: Unfortunately many religious people did not like this idea and [[Galileo]] was put under house arrest for [[heresy]] until he died several years later. ===References=======Edexcel==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1292120223/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1292120223&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=068ecf40278c32406a7f1c6e66751417 ''Heliocentric model of the solar system, page 118, GCSE Physics, Pearson Edexcel '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782948163/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782948163&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=0fdbfd5dd397d6e24a9dfb250f08587f ''Heliocentric model, page 183, GCSE Physics, CGP, Edexcel '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945733/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945733&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=2a2dbec9db6bf5766c0458d908fa0a52 ''Heliocentric model, page 60, GCSE Physics; The Revision Guide, CGP, Edexcel '']
