What makes Galileo popular?

Galileo was not popular with the Catholic Church during his lifetime, as he proved that the Earth revolves around the sun (Aristotelian Geocentric), contrary to the Church's teachings that the sun and all the other planets orbit around the Earth (heliocentrism). However, today Galileo was credited with his many contributions to physics. He was also one of the first people to prove that many of Aristotle's teachers were wrong, and showed great courage in proposing this idea. Galileo was one of the most famous physicists in history, along with Sir Issac Newton and Albert Einstein.
