Who proved Copernicus' heliocentric theory?

Galileo Galilei noted that; if our Earth and other planets went around our Sun, Venus would exhibit phases like our Moon; but if our Sun and other planets went around our Sun, it wouldn't. GG looked at Venus over the course of several weeks and noted unmistakeable phases. He thus concluded that the Copernican model was not just a useful model for calculation, but supported by observation.

What did Nicolaus Copernicus Galileo galilei and Isaac newton help people to see?

Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, and Isaac Newton fundamentally transformed humanity's understanding of the universe. Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model, placing the Sun at the center of the solar system, which challenged the long-held geocentric view. Galileo's observations with the telescope provided evidence for Copernicus's theory and revealed celestial phenomena, while Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation offered a mathematical framework that explained both terrestrial and cosmic movements. Together, their contributions shifted the perspective from an Earth-centered universe to one governed by physical laws, laying the groundwork for modern science.


What charges did Galileo receive?

In Galileo's time the Church reluctantly tried to accommodate science to some extent. Roughly speaking, its attitude was that it was okay for you to do science, and it was even okay if you find that the Church's interpretation of the Bible was wrong, as long as you didn't say it out loud. For example, it was okay to pretend that the earth orbited the sun to help with astronomical calculations, but it was not okay to state that it was true that the earth orbited the sun. Galileo's troubles began in 1613 when he was 49 years old and published Letters on Sunspots. In this book, he established the imperfection of the heavens by describing dark patches on the sun's surface - sunspots. The Church believed that since Christ was born on Earth, that the entire universe revolved around Earth. It can't be true that the Sun is the center of the Solar system. The Earth must be. The charge against him was heresy. He was sentenced to life imprisonment on the basis that he was "vehemently suspected of heresy." This was later lessened to house arrest, because he was getting up in age. After eight years of house arrest, Galileo Galilei died on January 8, 1642, aged 77. "It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures, and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment." ~Galileo Galilei


What were some famous things Galileo do?

He invented (rather modified and perfected) the telescope. He discovered the 4 biggest moons of Jupiter. His observations strengthened the heliocentric universe theory (that is the earth revolves around the sun and the earth isn't the centre of the universe).


How did Galileo observation of Jupiter's moons help show the geocentric explanation is incorrect?

Galileo's found that these moons revolved around Jupiter, not Earth, thus demonstrating that it was possible for celestial objects to revolve around something other than Earth.


Why is Galileo so important to us today?

because it could help us see thing from the outer space and it can help you check things about planets
