Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

Heliocentrism is the belief that the Sun is the center of the Solar System. The same belief Polish Mathematician Nicholas Copernicus had that lead him on trial. Nicholas Copernicus beleived Earth and the rest of the solar system revolved around the sun but the Catholic Church disagreed with this and put him on trial. The Catholic Church disbeleived with this idea they beleived in Geocentric belief that the Earth is the center of the Universe and the sun and other Planets revolve around it.
