The first discoveries with the newly invented telescope were made in 1609 by Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei. This included observations of the Moon, Jupiter's moons, and various stars.
Galileo made several important discoveries with his telescope, including the four largest moons of Jupiter (now known as the Galilean moons), the phases of Venus, sunspots on the Sun, and mountains and craters on the Moon. These observations provided evidence to support the heliocentric model of the solar system and challenged the geocentric view of the universe.
Galileo discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter, now known as the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. He also observed the phases of Venus, providing evidence for the heliocentric model of the solar system proposed by Copernicus.
Christiaan Huygens discovered the rings of Saturn, the first moon of Saturn (Titan), and made significant contributions to the development of the wave theory of light. He also invented the pendulum clock and improved the design of telescopes.
In the 1930s, major astronomical discoveries included the discovery of Pluto in 1930, the identification of the first Quasar in 1932, and the discovery of the first interstellar molecules in space in 1935. Additionally, the concept of an expanding universe was also proposed during this decade.

The Clementine spacecraft did missions to test sensors and spacecraft components under extended exposure to the space environment. It also made scientific observations of the moon and the asteroid that is near Earth.
The Clementine spacecraft found evidence of water ice in permanently shadowed regions near the moon's poles. This discovery was made through the detection of radar reflections consistent with the presence of ice. The spacecraft also provided insights into the moon's mineral composition, topography, and surface properties.
yes it did
we have a moon
Outside of the basic purposes of the mission, Armstrong did not make any significant discoveries while on the moon.
We have been on the moon and it has made no difference to us so far. However if we were to be able to economically survive on the moon it is reasonable to think that in an alien environment scientific discoveries could be made that would not have happened on the Earth.
that the moon has a thinner crust on the side facing earth

The Apollo program made several key discoveries, including the first manned missions to land on the Moon, collecting lunar samples, studying the Moon's geology, and gaining insights into the origin and history of both the Moon and Earth. The program also advanced our understanding of space travel, technology, and human capabilities in space.
Voyager 1 discovered active volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io. Voyager 2 discovered the presence of complex ring structures around Saturn. Both Voyager probes detected strong magnetic fields around Jupiter and Saturn.
she took pictures of the moon and studied it.
