Galileo discovered that the planet Venus has phases (like the moon); he saw that the Moon had craters and mountains; and that the Sun had moving black spots on its face; and four new moons circling the planet Jupiter.
His biggest achievement though, was that the Earth rotates the Sun.

Which was not discovered by Galileo?
Uranus was not discovered by Galileo Galilei. Some of the things that Galileo did discover was that there were four moons around Jupiter and that everything falls at the same speed.
What did Galileo do?
Galileo was famous for inventing the thermometer, perfecting the telescope and for experimenting with gravity and pendulums (which influenced Newton's laws of motion). He also dropped all Aristotelian talk of WHY things moved, and thought more about HOW things move, through painstaking observations and measurements. Galileo also thought of things such as time, distance, and acceleration to describe how things move. His observations supported the heliocentric (Sun-centered) solar system as proposed by Copernicus. Advocating this theory led to his trial for heresy against the church, for which he was placed under house arrest for the final years of his life.
Was Galileo important?
Yes Galileo was very important, because if he wasn't born than we might not even now about the stars, the planets, the moon, or even about the universe. And why is that? That is because Galileo was the one whom discovered it. Galileo was also the one whom "invented" science, math, and other great things we now do in school today. Galileo was the one whom invented the telescope, the thermometer, and other great and useful things that we use in our every day lives.
Which famous scientist first used a telescope for astronomical observations?

What did Galileo Galilie discover?
Telescope Actually, Galileo did not invented the telescope. But he did build his own, improved telescope. His was the 1st telescope strong enough to actually view the planets and stars in space. The first telescope (called a spy glass) used one convex lens and one concave lens. Galileo perfected it by using two convex lenses. Galileo also invented the Geometric compass which was use for calculations and for measurements The pendulum clock was another invention Galileo worked on but it was invented by Christian Huggens im not sure but i also think he invented the thermometer and barometer but u should search for it

Did Galileo ever invent anything?
After he heard of Flemming's telescope, he invented a telescope that was 30 times more powerful, which meant it made things 30 miles away look 1 mile away and enlarged objects. He was never interested in astronomy, but one day he turned his telescope to the stars and discovered wonders.
