What did the discovery of Jupiter's moons show astronomers?
The largest four of Jupiter's moon were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. The discovery was proof of celestial bodies which did not orbit the Earth, supporting the Copernican model of the universe in which the Earth was not the centre. Eventually leading to the model of the Solar System we have today. In short: The discovery of Jupiter's moons showed astronomers that not every thing in the sky orbited the Earth. (Or indeed the Sun)
