Galileo Galilei did not discover any moons orbiting Saturn; his observations were primarily focused on Jupiter. He is credited with discovering four large moons of Jupiter, known as the Galilean moons, in 1610. Saturn's moons were discovered later, with the first being Titan, which was observed by Christiaan Huygens in 1655.
Galileo was amazed to find out that Jupiter had four large moons or satellites (now known as the Galilean moons) orbiting around it. This discovery challenged the geocentric view of the universe and provided strong evidence for the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus.
No. He discovered great moons, which, had they not been orbiting planets might have been considered planets themselves, but the first new planet since antiquity was Uranus, discovered by Sir William Herschel.
Galileo first studied the planet Jupiter. He discovered four large moons orbiting around Jupiter, which later became known as the Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto). This finding supported the idea that not all celestial objects in the sky revolved around the Earth.
Galileo Galilei is credited with making significant astronomical discoveries, including the discovery of Jupiter's four largest moons (now known as the Galilean moons) in 1610. He also provided evidence to support the heliocentric model of the solar system proposed by Copernicus, which posited that the Sun, rather than the Earth, was at the center of the solar system.
No planet has any moons as large as the earth.
Saturn was found in 1610

Galileo galile in 1611 discovered Saturn and thought it had ears

..he found it by looking through a telescope and observing it around the sun.
That was Galileo in the early 1600s.
