Galileo Galilei, Italian astronomer and mathematician recanting, 1633 (1880). One of the greatest scientists of all time, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) discovered Jupiter's moons and the laws governing falling bodies. His support for the Copernican model of the Universe brought him into conflict with the Catholic church, and he was tried for heresy by the Inquisition in 1633. Found guilty, he was forced to recant his views and was placed under house arrest until his death in 1642.
