Death of Galileo Galilei

1642-01-08✓Exact date

Galileo dies at the age of 77, still officially condemned by the church. However, his legacy will live on: his methods of experimental research and his defense of the heliocentric model form the foundation of modern natural science. It is not until 1992 that the Catholic Church formally acknowledges that his condemnation was an error.
