Galileo discovered that the earth was not the center of the universe by looking through a simple hand-held telescope and noticing that objects were moving. He realized that objects orbited other objects and then in turn realized that the earth was not fixed in the sky. This was revolutionary at the time and also considered heresy by the church. He was forced to recant his statements but was rumored to have muttered under his breath when forced to recant, Si, pero muove, E Pur si muove or Pero, si muove. The records are unsure of the exact quote, but the message is loosely translated as, but, it does move. https://etsy/listing/182763286/e-pur-si-muove-or-ode-to-galileo-ceramic
