Who observed - and with what - four moons orbiting Jupiter and phases of Venus in the 1600s?

Gallileo Gallilei observed moons of Jupiter and phases of Venus in the early 1600's using a telescope. This led him to deduce that the Solar System was helio-centric, as opposed to the commonly held Earth-centric position of the times. This placed him at odds with the Roman Catholic church, which, at that time, did not tolerate scientific views which opposed religious dogma of the times.

Yes, that's the answer that I give too. However there's good evidence that
someone beat him to it. His name was Simon Marius. It's safer to say Galileo
though, as I do.
I've had another look into this and I'm more convinced now that Galileo was first. However the names given to the moons, which we still use today, were
devised by Marius.

What observations did Galileo make that made more people think again about the geocentric version?
Which observations showed Galileo that the Earth-centered theory was wrong?A) The presence of four Galilean moons around JupiterB) The phases of VenusC) The phases of the MoonD) The fact that Earth rotates from the west to the eastE) Newton's laws of gravity are incompatible with the Earth-centered theory
Why were cells not observed before the 1600s?
Well, we can't see such tiny small things with just a naked eye. So they invented microscopes. The answer is because no microscopes were invented. The first person to build a microscope was Robert Hooke. In 1665 Robert Hooke observed a thin slice of cork through a microscope.
This planet is home to the Great Red Spot?
The Great Red Spoton Jupiter is a cyclonic storm system, a hurricane three times the size of Earth, that has lasted for hundreds or thousands of years. The storm has changed only slightly since Giovanni Cassini observed it in the 1600s. It has become more circular over time, but probably will remain oval.The largest cyclonic storm on the planet Jupiter, it has has lasted at least 200 years, and possibly much longer. It is apparently only slowly shrinking in size. The prevailing theory is that eddies in the thick, dense atmosphere are added to the Spot over time. Its towering cloud tops prevent the loss of heat from the underlying layers, and there is no solid surface to diminish it through friction (as occurs with storms on Earth).The color darkens or fades over time, coinciding with changes in the atmosphere at that latitude.
Who were scientists in the 1600s?
Gallileo, Newton, Boyle,
When has Mercury been explored?
Yes by two satellites. Mariner 10 in 1974/75 which mapped about 45% of the planet, and Messenger in January 2008 which added another 30%. Messenger is due to make two more passes of Mercury before finally orbiting the planet in 2011.
What planet has a wind storm that lasts at least 300 years?
The Great Red Spot on Jupiter is a giant storm that has been going continuously well over 300 years. It was first observed by Galileo in the 17th century (the 1600s).
Who found the four largest moons of Jupiter in the 1600s?
Galileo was the first to observe the 4 largest moons of Jupiter (which are still known as the Galilean moons, in his honor).
How long has Jupiter's storm been forming?
Jupiters "red dot",the storm, has been around since at least the mid 1600s, when telescopes were invented.
What holidays were celebrated in the 1600s in England?
In the 1600s, England celebrated religious holidays such as Easter and Christmas, as well as national holidays like Guy Fawkes Day on November 5th. Additionally, there were other regional and local holidays that were observed in different parts of the country.

Attitudes to sex in the 1600s?
No one ever had sex in the 1600s. Ever.
What was discovered in the 1600s?
In the 1600s, there were several significant discoveries made in various fields. Galileo Galilei discovered the moons of Jupiter and made significant advancements in telescopic observations. Isaac Newton formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation. Anton van Leeuwenhoek discovered microorganisms using his microscope. These are just a few examples of the discoveries made during this time period.
