Galileo Galilei (15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642), better known by his first name alone, was an Italian Renaissance scientist and philosopher whose support for the Copernican sun-centered model of the universe brought condemnation by the Catholic Church and led to his living the last years of his life under house arrest.
