Astronomical Discoveries
- Proved the Moon wasn't a perfect sphere (saw mountains/craters)
- Built a telescope to help with observations
- Discovered there could be centers of motion that are also in motion
- Proof that the Moon could keep up with it even if it was in motion
- Found four moons revolving around Jupiter
- Saw Venus go through phases just like the Moon so it must revolve around the Sun too
