DaveNARRATOR
The Notes of Galileo When historian Evan Malara combed through the pages of Claudius Ptolemy's The Amalgast, the second century astronomy treatise from ancient Greece that established the geocentric model, meaning Earth at the center of the universe, he noticed a surprising notation.
DaveNARRATOR
Hidden within the 16th century edition of the Amalgamist at the National Central Library of Florence, Malara found a personal touch left by a past reader, the author of which was the famed astronomer Galileo Galilei.
DaveNARRATOR
Galileo's early observations of our solar system would eventually lead to him openly supporting the Copernican theory that the earth and planets revolve around the sun, according to biography.com, a proposition that put him in the crosshairs of the Catholic Church.
DaveNARRATOR
Church leaders would persecute Galileo, convicting him of heresy and placing him under house arrest for the rest of his life.
