He was scared that the Church would ambush him because his ideas were different than the Church's. Because of this, the Pope summoned Galileo to Rome to stand before the inquisition. He ended up lying to them and saying that Copernicus' findings were wrong so the Church would not kill him.

"We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves" -Galileo

Why? Because Galileo had moved there and started his education. We chose an observatory because an observatory is where he first used his telescope to "view the heavens".

He would be reminded of how the church tortured him but he would also be surprised of how big of an impact he had made.

"The Bible shows the way to go to Heaven, not the way the heavens go" -Galileo

We agree with Galileo's theories because through recent studies, it has been shown that Galileo's theories were right all along, and were proven correct.

Although it was right for Galileo to stand by the Church, we know that his original findings were right and he should have stood up for what he though was originally true.
