Slowly the old man got down on the knees before the judges of the inquisition. In a tired voice he said what he was ordered to say. He denied that the Earth turned on its axis and admitted that he had been wrong to teach this. On that day, June 22, 1633, the churchmen of the inquisition believed they had won a victory. They had forced Galileo, at the age of 69, the famous scientist in Europe, to admit he was wrong. 2. Galileo was born in Pisa (Italy) on February 15, 1564. From his childhood he showed a wide range of interests. His father wanted him to be a doctor, and Galileo was unhappy when he went to the University of Pisa in 1581 to study medicine. He began studying the works of Aristotle, Euclid and Archimedes. 3. Galileo had to leave Pisa and go to the University of Padua. It was there that he did most important work of all. This was in astronomy, the field in which his discoveries contributed the most to the scientific revolution of the Renaissance. He constructed a telescope and made many important discoveries with it. He discovered mountains and craters on the Moon and spots on the Sun. 4. His most important discovery in astronomy was made on January 7 1610. He found four little moons circling the Jupiter. This completely upset the old belief that everything in the heavens rotated around the Earth. There were four bodies rotating around Jupiter. Copernicus had been right. 5. In 1632 Galileo published his defense of the Copernicus system. It was then that the inquisition summoned him to Rome and put him on trial. The story is told that when Galileo rose from his knees, after swearing the Earth stood still, he muttered something softly to himself. These words are said to have been: «But it does move».
