by looking at the the dark areas thruogh a telescope
Galileo discovered that between the moons night and day sides the top was sometimes irregular and sometimes the bottom was smooth. He realized the irregularities were because the mountains on the moon.

The heavily cratered regions on the moon are called the highlands or the lunar highlands. These areas are older and have more craters compared to the smoother maria regions.
Terrae
The highlands of the moon are primarily composed of rocks rich in aluminum and silica minerals, such as anorthosite. These rocks are lighter in color and older than the volcanic plains of the moon. The highlands are believed to have formed early in the moon's geological history through the solidification of a cooling magma ocean.
Galileo correctly inferred that some of the light-colored features he saw on the moons surface were highlands, or mountains.(:

Galileo did not name the Moon the Moon.
He found that the Earth moves around that sun. The surface of the moon seemed pitted with craters. and the third one I don't know. Hope the other two help! :)
Craters. Mountainous areas. Also, the dark areas called "maria" are very prominent, mainly on the side of the Moon facing Earth. The whole surface is covered in broken rock and dust. That's why astronauts left footprints.

The Lunar (Clue) Highlands are located on the Moon

The question may mean "Was the moon Europa named by Galileo?" The answer to that is NO. Galileo discovered this moon, but it was named by another astronomer, called Simon Marius.
