    On this day (22 June) in 1633, Galileo Galilei (the polymath who is now
    renown for his contributions to the scientific fields of astronomy, engineering, physics and mathematics) was forced to recant his theory that
    the earth orbited the sun: a view known as heliocentrism.

    Despite operating during the Inquisition and working on innovative and often controversial theoretical approaches, Galileo was still able to make significant scientific discoveries and publish various findings, as he often worked under the protection of powerful patrons (the Medici and the Pope included). However, when Galileo published his Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, the polymath was accused of heresy and called to Rome to defend his writings.

    The Inquisition found Galileo guilty of suspected heresy and despite being awarded a prison sentence, this penalty was later commuted to house arrest.
    He remained under this restriction until his death in 1642.

    It was not until 1992 that the Vatican admitted that Galileo�s theory was correct.

    SAN ANTONIO � One man is dead and police are searching for a
    suspect after a house party turned violent early Sunday morning.

    Officers responded to the 7400 block of Rimhurst Drive on the
    far West Side for a report of a shooting around 1 a.m.

    The crowd quickly ran from the home but police were able to
    detain a few witnesses to question them.

    However, the people interviewed told police that they didn�t see
    an argument but did hear a gunshot and saw the victim fall.

    They did not know who the victim was, police said.

    The suspect fled the scene.

    Police believe the suspect is a heavy-set man, but don�t have
    much other information, according to a preliminary report.

    The home is located behind a strip mall near Shaenfield Road,
    just inside Loop 1604.

    This developing story will be updated online and on air as new
    information is available.
