He made many experiments and observations in the field of physics in general.
Because the Catholic doctrine was that Rome was the centre of the universe and all things revolved round it. When Galileo saw the moons of Jupiter orbiting jupiter, this proved that Catholic teaching and beliefs were wrong and if this was wrong, what else about Catholic teaching may be wrong!
Although they are not considered "anamolies" now, at the time these observations did not fit into standard ideas about the cosmos: 1) Jupiter has moons. 2) The Milky Way consists of stars. 3) Venus has phases over time.

Galileo had two daughters named Virginia and Livia.
Church officials believed the theory contradicted current religious teachings.

No, Ptolemy did.
the Earth revolves around the Sun, which challenged the geocentric model of the universe. His discoveries also supported the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus. Galileo's observations with the telescope provided evidence for this idea.

Found planets and satellites.

Figure it out for yourself!
This comes from the scientific method. A hypothesis is a rational explanation for an observed phenomena. When multiple researchers confirm the observations in agreement with the hypothesis, the explanation of the set of observations can be referred to as a theory.
