[[Galileo Galilei]] revised the Copernican theories and was admonished for his views on [[heliocentrism]] in 1615. The Roman Inquisition concluded that his theory could only be supported as a possibility, not as an established fact.<ref name=Hannam>Hannam, James. "The Genesis of Science". 2011. pp. 329–344.</ref> Galileo later defended his views in ''[[Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems]]'' (1632), which attacked Pope [[Urban VIII]] and thus alienated him and the [[Jesuits]], who had both supported Galileo up until that point.<ref name="Hannam"/>

He was tried by the Inquisition in 1633. Galileo was found "vehemently suspect of heresy", forced to recant, and the ''Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems'' was placed on the ''[[Index Librorum Prohibitorum]]'' (Index of Forbidden Books). He spent the rest of his life under house arrest at his villa in [[Arcetri]] near the city of [[Florence]].<ref name="Finnocchiaro">{{cite book|last=Finnocchiaro|first=Maurice|title=The Galileo Affair|year=1989|publisher=University of California Press|location=Berkeley and Los Angeles, California|pages=291}}</ref>
