He wrote a book a book about his discoveries called Starry Messenger. Galileo was the first person to observe Saturn‚ craters on the moon‚ sunspots‚ moons of Jupiter‚ and discovered that the Milky Way is made up of stars. Galileo proved that the Earth moves around the sun. The inquisition forced him to take back his heliocentric

Ancient Babylonians were known for their scientific and mathematic achievements‚ such as heliocentric astronomy‚ planets orbited in circles‚ and base 60 counting. At the same time‚ Ancient Babylonians believed in magic and gods.

Instead he championed Heliocentrism‚ the notion that placed the sun‚ and not the earth‚ at the center of the orbital paths of many observable bodies in outer space‚ a truth since validated by astronomers and mathematicians of his and later times.

Galileo was not the first scientist to discover heliocentrism‚ but through his writings and experiments‚ Galileo challenged European society to move away from geocentricism. Nicolaus Copernicus is frequently credited with the discovery of heliocentrism; however‚ the Catholic Church’s unwavering claim to geocentricism caused Copernicus’s theory to be ignored by many astronomers‚ physicists‚ and scholars. The breakthrough spearheaded by Galileo forced heliocentrism into academic
