He played a major role in the Scientific Revolution, challenging established beliefs by supporting the Copernican system, which proposed that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Galileo's work in telescopic observations led to groundbreaking discoveries, including the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus. Despite facing opposition from the Catholic Church, he made significant contributions to the fields of physics and astronomy.
