Galileo Galilei, the renowned Italian astronomer and physicist, lived under house arrest for several years due to his support of heliocentrism, which contradicted the geocentric view endorsed by the Catholic Church. After being tried by the Inquisition in 1633, he was found "vehemently suspect of heresy" and sentenced to house arrest for the remainder of his life. During this time, he continued to work on scientific studies, including his famous writings on motion and mechanics.
