Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Galileo was convicted of heresy for his views of the universe, such as his support for the heliocentric model and his observation of the moons of Jupiter. The Catholic Church believed these views contradicted the Bible and threatened the Church's authority. Brahe, Kepler, and Newton all made significant contributions to astronomy but were not convicted of heresy.
