One of the most scandalous events in history that pops into my head is the Galileo affair. Back in 1610 the Catholic world strongly believed that the earth was the center of the universe and did not move. The controversy began when Galileo started his telescopic studies and published a book called The Starry Messenger. This book stated new observations on Venus and Jupiter that proved how Venus had sun spots from it revolving the sun and moons were orbiting Jupiter. The belief that all planets orbit
