Galileo Galilei noted that; if our Earth and other planets went around our Sun, Venus would exhibit phases like our Moon; but if our Sun and other planets went around our Sun, it wouldn't. GG looked at Venus over the course of several weeks and noted unmistakeable phases. He thus concluded that the Copernican model was not just a useful model for calculation, but supported by observation.
