How did Galileo 's telescope and newton studies of gravity help support the heliocentric view of the universe?
-- Galileo saw small bodies orbiting another planet in the solar system. That
took the steam out of the story that the Earth is the center of everything.
-- Newton showed that IF his simple formula for gravity is correct, then the
planets must move according to Kepler's laws, which accurately explained
everything we actually see the planets doing in the night sky.

What other scientific breakthroughs did the work of Galileo Galilei lead to?
In the opinion of many historians, Galileo Galileo studies of the universe led to Sir Issac Newton's discoveries on the laws of gravity. Galileo's support of Copernicus and his idea that the earth revolved around the sun, led Galileo into prison as this idea went against Church theology. After Galileo recanted he was freed.
How did Galileo contribute to the scientific revolution?
Galileo made substantial contributions to the scientific revolution by conducting experiments on motion and gravity, promoting the heliocentric theory of the solar system, and developing the telescope for astronomical observations. His work laid the foundation for modern physics and astronomy.
What were some famous things Galileo do?
He invented (rather modified and perfected) the telescope. He discovered the 4 biggest moons of Jupiter. His observations strengthened the heliocentric universe theory (that is the earth revolves around the sun and the earth isn't the centre of the universe).
What was the big coincidence between Isaac Newton and Galileo?
Issac Newton was a guy who made gravity and helped Galileo make gravity when he made the telescope I know you are a kid so tell me I have a nerd friend right next to me.
What did Galileo do?
Galileo was famous for inventing the thermometer, perfecting the telescope and for experimenting with gravity and pendulums (which influenced Newton's laws of motion). He also dropped all Aristotelian talk of WHY things moved, and thought more about HOW things move, through painstaking observations and measurements. Galileo also thought of things such as time, distance, and acceleration to describe how things move. His observations supported the heliocentric (Sun-centered) solar system as proposed by Copernicus. Advocating this theory led to his trial for heresy against the church, for which he was placed under house arrest for the final years of his life.

How was the copernican theory proven correct?
Bruno did a pretty good job of it, and was burned at the stake for his troubles. Galileo's observations of the solar system were very thorough, and he had a decent telescope with which to record his findings. The evidence Galileo gathered was quite compelling.
Galileo Galilei what did he do?
he was a happy camper the compass and he invented the telescope. Actually he improved the telescope, he didn't invent it. Hans Lippershey invented it. He's from the Netherlands. Galileo improved the telescope by making it magnify 3 times as much. Galileo Galilei was a physicist, an astronomer, and a mathematician. He improved the telescope, and was the first person to use it to study the skies. He was the first to see the four moons of Jupiter and the first to discover the rings of Saturn. he invented the rings of saturn and he dicoverd the comuter . xx happy reading
Who built the first telescope?
The first telescopes were developed independently by Hans Lippershey, a Dutch eyeglass maker, and Zacharias Janssen, his colleague, in the early 17th century. Galileo Galilei is also credited with improving upon their design and using the telescope for astronomical observations.
What was Galileo's major discovers?
Actually Galileo Galilei was a man that was very good with mathmatics some of his most famous inventions and just other things, include improving the telescope to one that is 3x, 10x, 30x, and higher, he also improved a military compass that was used to show what way to shoot a cannon and other things he improved it into a normal everyday person to use, he also found out that the moon was not smooth as ptolemy (he was an important person in astonomy from the second century that everyone thought was right) he later wrote that the moon was "rough and uneven" with "lofty mountains and deep valleys". Galileo also found out that the milky way was really just a mass of innummeral stars. On another night he spotted three satalites orbiting the planet Jupiter, now Galileo had proof that Copernicus's Heliocentric Universe was correct and the catholic church disagreed and said that it went against the bible. Heliocentric means sun centered. Galileo founded the law of the pendulum, he also found saturns ring(s)
What did Galileo discover that gave support to the heliocentric theory?
The Jovian moons. Galileo had little evidence for the heliocentric theory, which was later (in the 18th century) generally accepted as correct after the laws of motion and the law of gravity showed that the Sun is by far the most massive object in the solar system and therefore must be at the centre. Galileo did not have the other major piece of evidence supporting the heliocentric theory, which is the parallax shown by relatively close stars as the Earth moves round its orbit. Parallax is extremely small and was impossible to observe in Galileo's time, and this was used to support the idea that the Earth is at the centre. Bessel made the first measurements of parallax in the 19th century.
What did Galileo believe about the universe?
His theory was the heliocentric theory, meaning the idea that the Sun is the center of the universe. He was proven wrong when it was discovered that the stars are basically other suns, but it was a step closer to the truth than the at the time supported geocentric theory.
What is the scientific basis of the heliocentric theory?
Copernicus and later Galileo and Kepler. Venus was found to have phases Jupiter was found to have moons Elliptical orbits which Kepler found would later be described by gravity Start there.
