Galileo discovered Jupiter's moons which had not been seen before he turned his telescope on to Jupiter.
Galileo observed the four moons and deduced that they are in orbits around Jupiter. The significance of this, as Galileo realised, was that up until then everything in the universe was assumed to revolve around the Earth.
Galileo thought that this discovery added credibility to the new theory of the planets' movements among the stars, published by Copernicus in1543, which had the Sun at the centre with the six known planets revolving around it.
It was important because ............. There is many things so go to Google. are you at level A in assessment
well i think it is because his career.
its not important to most people right
This discovery was important because the moons of Jupiter were the first objects found that definitely did not orbit the Earth. This raised doubts about the old Ptolemaic model of the Universe, which had the Earth at its centre.
It was the first demonstrable proof that all heavenly bodies did not orbit the earth. (or the sun for that matter)
It proved the geocentric theory was incorrect and gave credence to the Copernican theory or heliocentric system was more accurate.
The significance is that the phases of Venus are very similar to the phases of the moon.
The phases of the planet Venus are the different variations of lighting seen on the planet's surface
When he discovered that there were moons that when around Jupiter he proved that not everything rotated around the earth.
He formulated his atomic model (electrons orbiting the nucleus) in 1913.
Because the Catholic doctrine was that Rome was the centre of the universe and all things revolved round it. When Galileo saw the moons of Jupiter orbiting jupiter, this proved that Catholic teaching and beliefs were wrong and if this was wrong, what else about Catholic teaching may be wrong!
Planets do not have suns orbiting around them. Suns have planets orbiting around them. The planet in our solar system with the highest number of discovered moons orbiting around it is Jupiter, with over 100.
No, it is the largest moon Orbiting Saturn.
Space junk is not really a discovery. Humans put it there. We've got large quantities of junk orbiting our planet because we don't pick up after ourselves. It's not really any more of a discovery than litter is. There's no Christopher Columbus of litter, and that's basically what space junk is. So I can't really tell you who.

He was the first American to orbit the earth.

There are no rings orbiting Mercury
An elements atomic number is important because it tells you how many protons are in the nucleus of the atom, and how many electrons are orbiting the nucleus in the ground state.
while the earth is orbiting the sun the moon is orbiting the earth
When James Chadwick discovered the neutron, his discovery led to important revisions in the atom model. Chadwick's work with Ernest Rutherford partly allowed Rutherford to develop a model in which the nucleus consists of two types of nucleons--positively-charged protons and negatively-charged neutrons--surrounded by orbiting electrons.
yes their is moons orbiting uranus
No, it is orbiting our Earth, which is orbiting our Sun.
Orbiting stars. We know of eight planets orbiting our Sun, and we know of over 300 planets orbiting other stars.
There are no moons orbiting the planet Mercury.
Earth orbiting the sun is a planet that is attracted to a star.
