How did Galileo's discovery change people's view of the solar system?

Galileo was the first person to observe celestial objects using a telescope. His findings supported the notion proposed by Copernicus that the planets orbited the sun rather than Earth and that Earth orbited the sun rather than the other way around.

∙ 13y agoGalileo made observations of the movements of the planets and the Sun. By the relative movements of these celestial bodies, Galileo provided evidence that the Aristotelian model of geocentrism (the Earth is the center of the universe) was incorrect, and advocated instead heliocentrism (the Sun is the center of the universe). Due to these "heretical" views, Galileo was placed under house arrest for most of the remainder of his life. However, today he is championed as one of the early advocates of heliocentric theory, which, though not correct, was a major step forward for astronomers.
