Detailed explanation-1: -Galileo discovered evidence to support Copernicus ‘ heliocentric theory when he observed four moons in orbit around Jupiter.
Detailed explanation-2: -When Galileo turned his telescope to observe Jupiter, he saw what he initially thought to be three previously unobserved fixed stars. After continued observations it became clear that they were not fixed, and in a matter of days he had come to the conclusion that these new stars were in fact orbiting Jupiter.
Detailed explanation-3: -He observed the phases of Venus It was Galileo’s observations of Venus that proved the theory. Using his telescope, Galileo found that Venus went through phases, just like our Moon. But, the nature of these phases could only be explained by Venus going around the Sun, not the Earth.
