Galileo did not observe the rings of Saturn as clear, distinct rings; he initially thought they were "ears" or moons beside the planet due to the limitations of his telescope. He also did not observe the full spectrum of colors in a rainbow, as the technology of his time did not allow for detailed studies of light dispersion. Additionally, he could not detect the presence of planets beyond Saturn, such as Uranus and Neptune, which were discovered much later.
Yes, Galileo used a telescope to observe the phases of Jupiter in 1610. He discovered that the planet showed different phases similar to the Moon, which supported the heliocentric model of the solar system.
Galileo was the first astronomer to use a telescope to observe celestial objects in detail. This helped him make groundbreaking discoveries such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus, which provided strong evidence for the heliocentric model of the solar system.

Galileo described Saturn as having "ears" after he became the first person to observe it through a telescope. The existence of Saturn was known for thousands of years before Galileo.
