Galileo's discovery of the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter challenged existing scientific and religious beliefs. It contradicted the geocentric model of the universe, which positioned Earth at the center, and supported Copernican heliocentrism instead. This challenged religious beliefs that were based on a literal interpretation of The Bible, which placed Earth at the center of the universe. Consequently, Galileo's findings led to clashes with the Catholic Church and the Inquisition.
