Galileo was the first to study the sky with a telescope, record the results, and draw scientific conclusions. Before that, however, there were many people who studied the planets, and in ancient times there was a model explaining how the planets move among the stars, devised by Ptolemy.
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.
