Galileo is famous for discovering the Galilean moons (Jupiter's four largest moons--Io, Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto)
Galileo is most famous for his scientific hypothesis that the Earth revolves around the sun, rather than the sun revolving around Earth, as most people believed in that day. He went to trial for his hypothesis because of its apparent contradictory nature to the Scripture, or Bible.
He made countless other scientific discoveries which are accepted as truth to this day in the fields of astronomy, technology, mathematics, and physics.
