What happened with Galileo Galilei on 26 February, 1616

26 February, 1616

Cardinal Bellarmine, acting on instructions from Pope Paul V, ordered Galileo to abandon his belief that the sun stands still at the center of the world and the Earth moves. He was further instructed not to hold, teach, or defend this view in any way. This event marked a significant setback for Galileo's scientific work and the broader acceptance of heliocentrism.
