Yes, of course. Venus showed phases, which indicated it revolved around the sun, and Jupiter had moons, which showed that not everything revolved around the Earth.

Additional information: the phases of Venus are also explained by the geocentric system, which allows for Venus to pass between the Sun and the Earth - the condition for causing the crescent phase to be seen from Earth.

So Venus's phases neither support nor contradict the heliocentric model. However Jupiter's moons were the first objects discovered that definitely did not orbit round the Sun. So this gave an indirect boost to the heliocentric concept by showing it isn't impossible.
