What role did the telescope play in the contribution to science?
Galileo used his telescope to look into space where he noticed that Nicalous Copernicus was correct in saying that the Earth revolves around the sun. Which Galileo was arrested for believing.
Why was Nicolas Coperincus important to science?
Copernicus gave Helios centric theory against Ptolemy's Geo centric theory. Ptolemy considered earth to be the centre and all other planets including Sun go around the earth. But Copernicus denied this and he gave so rightly that Sun is at the centre and all the other planets including earth go around the Sun.

What error did Nicolaus Copernicus make in one area of astronomy?
Tolosani claimed Copernicus made his biggest error by using "inferior" fields of study to make statements about the "superior" fields. Copernicus used Math and Astronomy to postulate about Physics and Cosmology. Others used principles of Physics and Cosmology to determine principles of Math and Astronomy. Tolosani felt Copernicus was undermining the entire system of science. He said Copernicus fell into philosophical error because he was not knowledgeable in physics and logic. To him, anyone who did not know physics and logic would be unable to make a good astronomer, and not be able to tell truth from falsehood. A simpler answer: Copernicus thought the planets moved in circular orbits. Kepler later showed they move in elliptical orbits.
