What is the contribution of Ole Roemer to physics?

Ole Roemer is best known for determining the speed of light by observing the eclipses of Jupiter's moon Io. His work provided a more accurate estimate of the speed of light, which was crucial for the development of modern physics. Roemer's observations also supported the heliocentric model of the solar system proposed by Copernicus.
