Galileo's observations with his telescope supported the concept of heliocentricism. He noted that the satellites of Jupiter and Venus, based on their range of phases, did not match geocentricism supported by Ptolemy. He noted that based on these findings, that the Heliocentric theory was correct.

How did galileo's observation support the heliocentric system?
Venus goes through phases similar to those of Earth's moon.#1Direction
What are the geocentric and heliocentric theories of the universe?
The Geocentric or Ptolemaic Model put the earth at the center of the Universe. The Heliocentric Model postulated by Copernicus and, before him, Aristarchus, places the Sun at the center of the Solar System. Galileo's observations proved the validity of the Heliocentric Model.
Which famous astronomer observed Venus and Jupiter and supported Copernicus' theory of a heliocentric solar system?
Galileo Galilee
How did the early astronomer Copernicus study the stars?
Other people recorded their observations of the stars and planets with astrolabes. Ptolemy came up with a (very complicated) mathematical system that would predict the location of planets over time. His basic, geocentric idea was modified over the centuries, but only became more complicated as observations became more exact. Copernicus took these observations that others had written down, and proposed a heliocentric system that he (correctly) noted was far simpler in making accurate predictions.
How are the heliocentric theory and the geocentric theory different?
Heliocentric = The Sun is at the center of our solar system. Geocentric = The Earth is at the center of our solar system. Insisting the Sun is at the center, which it is, once very much angered the church.

Did Galileo believe in geocentric or heliocentric?
The heliocentric system
The heliocentric system gained support when Galileo observed that?
most of the smaller planets are near the sun
Who was the first to use the telescope to observe Jupiters moon to support the heliocentric model of the solar system?
Galileo
What did Galileo Observe that caused him to support the heliocentric system?
Venus goes through phases similar to the moon
Did Galileo Galilei view the solar system geocentric or heliocentric?
Heliocentric.
How did Galileo's observations support the heliocentric system?
Galileo's telescopic observations of the 4 large moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus helped support the heliocentric model of the solar system developed by Copernicus. Copernicus predicted that all phases would be visible since the orbit of Venus around the Sun would cause its illuminated hemisphere to face the Earth when it was on the opposite side of the Sun and to face away from the Earth when it was on the Earth-side of the Sun. In contrast, the geocentric model of Ptolemy predicted that only crescent and new phases would be seen since Venus was thought to remain between the Sun and Earth during its orbit around the Earth. Galileo's observations of the phases of Venus proved that it orbited the Sun and lent support to (but did not prove) the heliocentric model.

Who discovered the heliocentric solar system?
Galileo Galilei did a lot to prove it. Before that, Copernicus came up with the heliocentric theory.
When did Galileo used a telescope for the heliocentric system?
200 billion years ago
