**The Astronomer Walks Toward Judgment**
February 13, 1633. Galileo Galilei steps onto Roman cobblestones, his brass telescope a silent witness in his hands. The road stretches toward the Vatican, where cardinals wait with Scripture in one hand and fear of the cosmos in the other.
He has seen Jupiter's moons. He has watched Venus dance through phases the old model cannot explain. He knows the Earth is not still.
But stillness—comfortable, ancient stillness—is what the Church demands. And so he walks, not as a conqueror of truth, but as its reluctant defendant.
The sky above Rome burns orange and purple, indifferent to the proceedings below. The planets he charted continue their silent revolution.
