Galileo did not actually discover space. Space was studied by prehistorical astronomers back into the days of Egypt and Maya, and possibly further back into history.

But between 1592 and 1610, Galileo devoted most of his time to studies of the universe, and in 1610 is when he first revealed publicly his belief that the Earth actually rotated around the sun (heliocentric) as opposed to the previous Earth-centered universe (geocentric).
