Galileo concluded that not all celestial bodies orbit the Earth, which challenged the geocentric model of the universe. By observing Jupiter's moons, particularly their consistent motion around the planet, he provided evidence for the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus, where planets, including Earth, orbit the Sun. This observation was pivotal in supporting the idea that the Earth is not the center of the universe, leading to a significant shift in astronomical thought.
