Galileo got his idea from a professor
Galileo's invention of the telescope helped him observe the phases of Venus, the moons of Jupiter, and sunspots, which provided evidence for the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus. These observations challenged the geocentric view of the universe and supported the idea that the Earth revolves around the Sun.
He got blind when he watched the sun with his telescope for many days
Galileo's improved telescope allowed him to observe detailed features of celestial bodies, such as the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter. These observations provided evidence that not all celestial bodies orbit Earth, supporting the heliocentric theory proposed by Copernicus.
Galileo was locked up by the Catholic Church in 1633 for his support of the heliocentric model of the universe, which contradicted the Church's geocentric beliefs. He was charged with heresy for advocating the idea that the Earth revolves around the Sun, which was deemed to be against Church doctrine.
Galileo Galilei is credited with helping to solidify the scientific method through his systematic approach to observation, experimentation, and the use of mathematical analysis in his studies. He also improved the telescope, making significant advancements in its design and use for astronomical observations and discoveries.
Galileo got it right. But he had built a telescope so he had an advantage.

Hundreds of them. Who was first? Probably Galileo. We have no record of anyone point his new telescope at the skies before him. Probably SOMEBODY did; the telescope had been invented 5 years or so before Galileo got his first one, but nobody wrote about it.
In his day, he made the best telescopes in the world. Then he got famous for using it.
Galileo Gallilee I was bummend on this one 2!
He built the telescope because he saw his children play with lenses and he got the idea of making it
The Egytians got the idea from the rays of the sun.
Galileo. He was the first to study the sun and he got blind by looking at it for long.

Galileo's about the solar system got him arrested for a decade (10 yrs).
Once he had some lenses and got the idea, he could probably have done it in an hour.
