With his telescope, Galileo made some discoveries about space and the Earth. One of his discoveries was that the moon was not smooth but it had many mountains and craters on its surface. With this telescope, he also learned that Jupiter had four moons. The discoveries made with this telescope made Galileo very famous. ||
