January 1610, he discovered that the


Jupiter had 4 moons.
He began observing the heaven with
instruments called telescope. Though that
instrument he showed that the Moon’s

And also in this year, His work on
proving the heliocentric model of the
galaxy brought him into conflict with the
catholic church.
