9 W hy was he not sent to prison? Venus going round the sun. At the time, there was the
belief that the earth was the centre o f the universe and
the sun went round the earth. However, by 1610 Galileo’s
theory was that the earth was not the centre o f our
universe. Galileo said that the sun was the centre, and the
earth moved round it.
PV HI S LAST YEARS
Some religious organisations weren’t happy with Galileo’s
theories. His ideas were dangerous because they were
different from the ideas in the Bible. Finally, in 1634 there
was a trial. Galileo was 70 and not in good health so he
wasn’t sent to prison, but he couldn’t leave his house in
Florence. It was here that he died in 1642. He was 78 years
old and completely blind.
