In nearly 1400 years the movements of the heaven ly bodies had never been studied so carefully until Coper-- nicus doubted the original theories and set to work to ad vance his own With the advent of the Co-pernloan system, one puzzle alter another had to be explained. Why did the stars rise and fall every night at regular intervals? He believed that the reasons why the stars rose and set depended on the axis of the earth, and that the earth rotated on its axis once a day with a uniform rate of motion; end that the earth along with all the planets revolved a -ound the sun in circular orbits. He also believed the sun to be off the exact centre of the orbits as astronomers know today, the paths are elliptical, not A1' virtual eruption took place in his own time when be overturned man's ideas about the heavenly bodies. The relationship of. the earth in the universe had been so well established through the centuries that any new conceptions were not tolerated.

Galileo invented his telescope be. made numerous discoveries regarding the planets, stars end be published his Letters on the Solar Spots in 1613. In mis work he embodies his acceptance of the.Copernicaa system of the universe. Galileo was summoned from Pisa to Home where the Pope condemned his doctrines as heresy, although the inventor-est onoraer tried hi vain' to justify his thoughts by Biblical quotations.

He was forced to renounce his belief in the studies and the pronounce-' ments of Copernicus.
