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)

How did Galileo's observations of jupiters moons help to show that the geocentric explanation is incorrect?
Galileo reasoned that the phases of Venus could not be explained, if the Earth is in the center of the system of the planets. So Ptolemy's geocentric system could not be correct. Edit: That's correct, but it doesn't answer the question, which is about Jupiter. The idea is that Jupiter having moons proved that there are other places that can be centres of motion, apart from Earth.
