Galileo discovered Jupiter's moons which had not been seen before he turned his telescope on to Jupiter.
Galileo observed the four moons and deduced that they are in orbits around Jupiter. The significance of this, as Galileo realised, was that up until then everything in the universe was assumed to revolve around the Earth.
Galileo thought that this discovery added credibility to the new theory of the planets' movements among the stars, published by Copernicus in1543, which had the Sun at the centre with the six known planets revolving around it.
What else can I help you with?
What could have happened if telescope had not been invented?
Without the invention of the telescope, our understanding of the universe would be severely limited. Important discoveries such as galaxies, supernovae, and planets orbiting other stars would not have been possible. Astronomy and many other fields reliant on telescopic observations, such as astrophysics and cosmology, would be stunted in their progression.
Why was the Catholic Church threatened by Galileos observations of the universe?
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!
What did ptolemy and Copernicus and Galileo found out about the solar system?
Ptolemy proposed a geocentric model, with Earth at the center and planets orbiting it. Copernicus suggested a heliocentric model, with the Sun at the center of the solar system. Galileo's telescopic observations supported the heliocentric model and provided evidence for Copernicus' theory.
Why was Galileo's discovery so important and how did it help further studies of the same field?
it inspired people like the dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens and Isaac Newton. Its important to know what is going on in the universe because it could help us figure out 1. why the universe is the way that it is and 2. what will later happen to the universe that could alter the way we live.
What moons orbit which planets?
Well Uranis or saturn or neptune Has 47 moons Earth has only 1

He was the first American to orbit the earth.

Are their rings orbiting Mercury?
There are no rings orbiting Mercury
What is the moon doing while earth is orbiting the sun?
while the earth is orbiting the sun the moon is orbiting the earth
Why is an element's number important?
An elements atomic number is important because it tells you how many protons are in the nucleus of the atom, and how many electrons are orbiting the nucleus in the ground state.
Which model showed the discovery of a positively charged nucleus?
The Rutherford model was the model that showed the discovery of a positively charged nucleus. In this model, proposed by Ernest Rutherford in 1911, he suggested that atoms have a dense, positively charged nucleus at the center, with electrons orbiting around it. This model provided evidence for the nuclear nature of the atom.
Does Uranus have orbiting moons?
yes their is moons orbiting uranus
Is the moon on top of the sun?
No, it is orbiting our Earth, which is orbiting our Sun.
How did the discovery of the nucleus change Thomson's theory?
The discovery of the nucleus showed that atoms are not indivisible as Thomson had previously suggested. It led to the development of the new atomic model proposed by Rutherford, which included a dense, positively charged nucleus at the center with electrons orbiting around it. This model replaced Thomson's "plum pudding" model of the atom.
