What was the importance of the discovery of the gallilean moons in ralationship to the heliocentric theory?
Because they were clearly going around Jupiter, and not the Earth. Everything else could be explained as orbiting Earth (with some finagling in the form of the occasional epicycle to explain retrograde motion), but if the Galilean moons were orbiting Earth, they would have had to have been doing so in an orbit that was nothing but epicycles. It was far simpler to assume that they orbited Jupiter, period, which in fact they do.
If something out there was clearly orbiting a body other than the Earth, then that calls the whole epicycle house of cards into question, because if you assume that the planets orbit the Sun instead of the Earth, you don't need epicycles any more; it's much more elegant mathematically. You can still, if you like, assume the Earth is "special" and that the Sun orbits it (which, in fact, some people did, Tycho Brahe being one), though the heliocentric approach was a little more consistent.
What else can I help you with?
What did Galileo galilei study?
Galileo Galilei studied physics, mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. He made significant contributions to the development of modern science, including improvements to the telescope and observations of the heavens that supported the heliocentric model of the solar system.
How often do solar eclipses occur on Jupiter?
Solar eclipses on Jupiter occur much more frequently than on Earth due to its many moons casting shadows on the planet. On average, there can be multiple solar eclipses every day on Jupiter as the large number of moons with varying orbital planes constantly create opportunities for eclipses to happen.
What planets do you need a telescope to see?
You typically need a telescope to see the outer planets of our solar system, such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These planets are much farther away from Earth than the inner planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Moon, so they appear small and faint to the naked eye. Telescopes help magnify and clarify the view of these distant planets.
What planet has a gallilean moon with ice volcanoes?
The planet is Jupiter
How do you make a simple telescope?
You can assemble a simple telescope by using two lenses, one weak convex lens (this is thicker at the centre) as the objective and a stronger concave lens ( thinner at the centre) as the eyepiece. then, with simple manipulation you can determine the focal length of your lenses, double this calculation for length of tubing required to mount lenses and assemble a gallilean style telescope. ******* An online visual guide can help you understand what is involved in building a telescope.
Are Io Europa Ganymede Callisto Jupiter's main moons?
Yes, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto are commonly referred to as Jupiter's main moons. These four moons are known as the Galilean moons and are some of the largest and most well-known moons in the Solar System.

What are the uses of the concave lens?
Concave lenses are used in glasses to correct nearsightedness (myopia) by diverging light before it reaches the eye. They are also used in cameras and projectors to spread out light rays, creating sharper images. Additionally, concave lenses can be used in certain scientific instruments to reduce the size of an image.
What languages did the 12 apostles speak?
Jesus most likely spoke Aramaic in a Gallilean dialect. Most of his lifetime was spent in Gallilean speaking areas. The apostles wrote in Aramiac so that people could have their stories in the same language after they were gone. Later writings in the Bible were in Hebrew. There is a controversy as to whether the early versions were written in or translated to Greek, but the early Church scholars say the translations came later. "Eusebius himself declared that "Matthew had begun by preaching to the Hebrews, and when he made up his mind to go to others too, he committed his own Gospel to writing in his native tongue [Aramaic], so that for those with whom he was no longer present the gap left by his departure was filled by what he wrote" (History of the Church 3:24 [inter 300-325])."
How do you build a telescope?
There are two types of telescopes, Gallilean or Reflective. What you need depends upon the type. Lenses are the key things for both types, with a large concave mirror (three inches or more) for the reflective. Grinding your own mirror can be a time consuming task taking hours, but much cheaper than buying one. It is just a matter of lining up the lenses with the proper distances to create one. Estes Scientific used to sell kits to make your own. ****** An online visual guide gives you an idea of what is involved. see www.howtelescopeswork.com
How do you compare and contrast the Aristotelian and Gallilean conceptions of vertical motion horizontal motion and projectile motion?
Aristotle's conceptions of motion involved natural states and elements, with vertical motion seen as objects seeking their natural place. Horizontal motion was believed to require a force to sustain it, contrasting with natural rectilinear motion. Projectiles were thought to rely on a medium for propulsion, such as air. In contrast, Galileo introduced the concept of inertia and applied mathematical analysis to motion, treating horizontal and vertical components independently. He also formulated the principle of inertia, which states that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a force.
What was the food like in Galilee at the time of Jesus?
bread, berries, grain, vegetables and meat. however Jews were not permitted to eat the meat of any creatures without hoofs or hoofs that split feet i.e pigs, birds bats, rodents. Jews were not permitted to eat any meat that had been cooked with blood or anymeat with blood still in it. they were not permitted to eat the meat of any creature that had been offered as a sacrifice. Jews also would not eat unleaven bread (bread cooked without yeast) on the sabbath day or on religious days of the year. fish was also a very common food.
