Renaissance+and+Reformation+Science

Galileo, a renaissance astronomer, believed that the earth was part of a heliocentric universe, or a universe centered around the sun. This was one of the many contradictions with the Church. More and more scientists were beginning to question the beliefs of the Church, that the earth was the center of the universe. One of Galileo's other discoveries proved that there were four moons around Jupiter, leading him to believe that everything did not center around the earth. Other's doubted many things about the Church's teachings, which eventually led to the Reformation, or the many reforms in the church. || This image is a photograph of the telescope designed by Galileo Galilei. The famous astronomer created this cutting-edge technology which improved a view of the universe. New sights were seen and, combined with other men's theories, led way for the discovery of the heliocentric universe. It questioned the church teachings and undermined faith in the church, eventually leading to the Reformation. ||
