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.

Jupiter has the moon called Europa. (Galileo discovered this moon, but actually the name was given by another person.)
Galileo discovered the telescope, and phases of the moon
Galileo inferred that the moon has highlands by observing the variation in surface brightness and the presence of shadows and light patterns across the lunar surface through his telescope. These observations led him to propose that the moon's surface was not perfectly smooth and that there were elevated regions, which he referred to as the moon's "mountains" or highlands.
Galileo correctly inferred that some of the light-colored features he saw on the moons surface were highlands, or mountains.(:
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.
Galileo did not name the Moon the Moon.

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.
