17 February 1600,

Giordano Bruno stated that the sun that burned in the fire the Inquisition of Rome was only a star. Theologian, astronomer and mathematician was convicted of inheritance. In astronomy, the Copernicus model improved. He was arrested in 1592 and burned in fire after being tried. He was imprisoned for eight years during the trial — under the Venice court — for blasphemy, heresy and immorality. At the trial, Bruno held his ideas firmly.
