Yes, he spent a good amount of time studying it amongst other things
Galileo first used the telescope to view the Moon in 1609, shortly after he heard about the invention of the telescope in the Netherlands. He constructed his own version of the telescope and made his observations from his home in Padua, Italy. His detailed observations of the Moon revealed its rugged surface and craters, challenging the prevailing notion of its perfection.
In the early 17th century
Galileo was a prisoner in his home for about 8 years before he died in 1642.
Yes, Galileo Galilei died in his home in Arcetri, Italy on January 8, 1642.

Oh, isn't it just a joy to gaze at Saturn's rings through a telescope? You'll get a clear view with a magnification of at least 25-50x. Just like painting, every little detail starts to come alive when you use just the right amount of magnification. Keep exploring, my friend!

While Saturn has spectacular rings that are easily visible with a home telescope, Jupiter's rings are far less obvious from Earth. Jupiter does have rings, even though they are harder to see. Jupiter has one primary ring and two fainter rings, while Saturn has a large number (the exact count seems to vary in different publications).

Observatory, home, box.
Oh, isn't that a lovely question! Jupiter, being such a grand friend in our galaxy, actually doesn't have rings like Saturn does. So you don't need a telescope to see them because, well, Jupiter doesn't have any rings. But if you ever want to marvel at Saturn's many elegant rings, a telescope will certainly help you see their breathtaking beauty up close!
