Why did the Church put Galileo under house arrest? In the late 16th century Galileo Galilei was among a small group of scientists who turned the newly refined telescope to the skies. Earlier elementary magnifying devices had emerged from developments in the science of optics via Roger Bacon and the work of a series of Islamic scientists, in particular Al-Kindi (c. 801–873), Ibn Sahl (c. 940-1000) and Ibn al-Haytham (965–1040). They were generally used for surveying land or for military tactics. Galileo developed these early optical devices to be more powerful and more accurate, allowing him to track movements of the stars and planets with more accuracy. In 1610, Galileo published his Sidereus Nuncius (Starry Messenger), describing new astronomical observations including those of the Galilean moons of Jupiter. His observations and later observations of the phases of Venus supported the heliocentric theory of Nicolaus Copernicus published in De revolutionibus orbium coelestium in 1543. Later, in 1632, Galileo published his Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, which further defended heliocentrism, and was immensely popular. The popularity of his ideas led to the Roman Inquisition trying Galileo for heresy in 1633. He was forbidden to speak of his beliefs and found \"vehemently suspect of heresy\"; the Roman authorities sentenced him to house arrest where he remained until his death in 1642.
