He believed the idea the heliocentric model created by Copernicus
In the opinion of many historians, Galileo Galileo studies of the universe led to Sir Issac Newton's discoveries on the laws of gravity. Galileo's support of Copernicus and his idea that the earth revolved around the sun, led Galileo into prison as this idea went against Church theology. After Galileo recanted he was freed.
He showed that the geo-centric view of our solar system did not match observation, but that the helio-centric view did. More fundamentally, Galileo Galilei led the way to a view that observation should take precedence over philosophy when determining truth about our world.
Gallileo Gallilei observed moons of Jupiter and phases of Venus in the early 1600's using a telescope. This led him to deduce that the Solar System was helio-centric, as opposed to the commonly held Earth-centric position of the times. This placed him at odds with the Roman Catholic church, which, at that time, did not tolerate scientific views which opposed religious dogma of the times.
Galileo wanted to be an astronamer because the revoulting sun.
Galileo held a pendulum up to his heart and timed the beats. This is what led to the discovery of measuring small amounts of time more accurately.

by knowing more about the planets and his invention also led to many other discoveries
Pope Urban VIII ruled in Rome during that period. (1623-1644). His real name was Maffeo Barberini and was originally from Florence.Background to the year 1629On December 24, 1629, Galileo Galilei completed work on his 500-page Dialogue. It was this and Galileo's scientific finding on the origins of the universe that brought him into conflict with the Church of Rome. This led to him being served with a summons to appear before the Pope.Pope Urban VIII presided over the trial of Galileo Galilei in 1633 for the crime of heresy for proposing that the Earth was not the centre of the universe but followed a path around the Sun.
