Using the new technology of the telescope, Galileo discovered the moons of Jupiter: Io, Europa, Calisto, and Ganymede, thus proving that not all things orbit around the Earth, lending great support to the Copernican model of the heliocentric system. These four moons are called the Galilean moons to this day.
(and he also died and he loves u all) this last part its funny lol
He said he had a proof of the theory but that the cardinals were all too stupid to understand it and he would not divulge it. But later in court he was asked for proof and did not produce any, and recanted.
But the idea that the Sun is at the centre of the solar system was later generally accepted after scientific discoveries after Galileo's lifetime.
1.That when two objects of different weight falls from the same height, it will land at the same time 2.That all planets revolve around the Sun. These are just the most famous two!
the theory of pendulum
He was an Italian scientist of the 17th century. He did not prove the heliocentric theory. But everyone accepts the heliocentric principle now, after it was proved right; but that happened long after Galileo's time, after new scientific discoveries in the latter half of the 1600s.
Before Galileo observed that Jupiter had moons of its own, the prevailing theory in astronomy was that everything in the universe revolved around the Earth, a philosophy known as geocentrism.In 1610, Galileo trained his newly-invented telescope upon Jupiter, and observed what he at first called 'fixed stars' orbiting around it. This direct evidence that not everything revolved around us after all was the first large crack in the geocentric theory, and major evidence of Copernicus's competing theory of heliocentrism: that planets and their moons revolve around the sun instead.
Galileo challenged Aristotle's belief that heavier objects fell faster than lighter ones.
Galileo Galilei constructed telescopes to conduct his observations. He also disproved the Ptolemaic model.
He didn't know it, he just brought out a new theory that showed that with the Sun at the centre the planets' paths could be explained more simply. That was in 1543 and Kepler produced another heliocentric theory in 1609 which had the planets moving in elliptical orbits round the Sun. The only thing in favour of Kepler's theory at the time was that it explained the planets' positions more accurately than previous theories. But 80-90 years later Newton's discoveries in gravity and the laws of motion were used to prove by theory that the planets must move in elliptical orbits.
Copernicus created the mathematical theory to prove that the Sun, not the Earth, was the centre of our solar system. Galilei provided the calculations and observations to prove Copernicus' theory.

Newton explained his theory
Galelei derived his theory from Copernicus. To Copernicus it was just a theory. Galilei managed to prove it when he invented the telescope and was able to see the moons orbiting Jupiter.
yes it can prove ....
