1) The moon is not a perfect sphere, but has ridges and mountains just like our Earth.
2) The Milky Way is composed of stars.
3) Four moon circle Jupiter, just like our Moon circles our Earth.
4) Venus has phases as it moves through our sky.
5) Our Sun has spots on it.
Galileo Galilei saw the rings of Saturn, but did not recognize them as such. He also saw and recorded Neptune, but did not follow it long enough to realize it was a planet.

∙ 9y agoNone. He used the type of telescope that was available at the time, with a large convex object lens and a small concave eye lens. He made important discoveries and this type of telescope is now called a Galilean telescope.
The Galielean telescope has a small field of view and provides magnification up to about 30x. This type of telescope is now only used in cheap children's telescopes and Opera glasses.
Astronomical telescopes, refractors and reflectors, now use an eyepiece with two convex lenses that provides a good field of view and greater magnification, with an inverted image.

Galileo's observations of the gibbous phase of Venus proved what?
Galileo's observations of the gibbous phase of Venus proved that the Sun was the center of the Solar System, with the planets revolving around it. This disproved the prevailing theory of the time that the planets orbited around the Earth.
Why was Galileo model accepted?
Because it was demonstrably the best explanation for the observations that could be made.
Who mathematically proved the observations of Galileo and Copernicus.?
Sir Isaac newton
Did Galileo record data?
Galileo recorded data in several subjects, including mechanics and astronomy. Not only did he record date, he published his discoveries and descriptions of his observations. We have twelve published works by him.
Who invented the telescope and developed a heliocentric view of the universe?
I suspect the answer you're looking for is Galileo Galilei. It just has two problems: Galileo didn't "invent the telescope", nor did he "develop a heliocentric view of the universe." The telescope was invented in the Netherlands; Galileo simply improved on it and was probably the first to apply it to astronomical observations instead of just looking for distant ships. Also, Copernicus is (properly) credited with the heliocentric view; Galileo's observations supported this, but he didn't come up with it.
Why did Galileo's observations cause controversy?
This was because his observations contradict the biblical view of the church, who were immensely powerful at the time. Galileo's observations placed the sun as the center of our galaxy instead of the earth.
Who made the first the famous observations with a telescope?
Pythagoras Galileo was the person who made the first famous observations with a telescope.
Did Galileo's observations confirm the validity of retrograde motion of the planets?
No, Ptolemy did.
He mathematically proved the observations of Galileo and Copernicus?
Sir Isaac Newton
Where did galieo discover Saturn?
Galileo did not discover Saturn. Saturn was known to people who lived thousands of years before Galileo. Galileo was the first person to see Saturn through a telescope, and the first to observe its rings. He made many of his observations from Venice.
Who made many observations and calculations to work out that planets' orbits are ellipses?
Galileo and also my hamsters! my best friend is Katie Jennings!
What are some observations Galileo might have made to invent the thermometer?
he didn't invent it!
How would a camera of helped Galileo?
It would have helped people to believe him and his observations

Galileo's observations of the gibbous phase of Venus proved that the Sun was the center of the Solar System, with the planets revolving around it. This disproved the prevailing theory of the time that the planets orbited around the Earth.
Which new technology enabled Galileo to make observations that supported the idea of a sun-centred solar system?
Why, the telescope, of course! Using his telescope, Galileo was able to make observations of the heavens in a way no one else was able to before.
Who was the first to use the telescope to make scientific observations of the night sky?
Galileo Galilei
Who was an Italian scientist who made astronomical observations that supported the theories of Copernicus?
Galileo Galilei
