"...movimento annuo della Terra..." - Galileo

My math teacher says that these simple four (Italian or Latin) words were either the start of science or had a lasting impact on science (can't remember which).  If I write a paper about how, I'll get extra credit.  And I need it.

What I got out of it is "annual movement of the Earth"

I tried Googling it, but to no avail.  Could someone help elaborate?

Thanks.

Rotation of Earth around the Sun.  A blow to widely-held (and Vatican-promoted) thought.  Copernicus got it first, didn't he?

I KNOW

This is when Galileo was branded as a heretic for saying the Earth moved, and not the Sun.

EDIT: gtfo, ken

"The annual movement of Earth started science because of reasons that are unknown to you or me, but only to Galileo. In this essay, I will describe to you how it is not possible to understand such wild theories created so long ago. For starters, I can't explain to you why this phenomenon happened, or why it was significant to the creation of science. And to top it all off, I really don't know a damn thing about this guy or his martian language.

I hope you enjoyed my essay, and I hope you give me that extra credit. I really do not want to resort back to the days of our sexual bribery deals."
