Dispelling the Myth: How Johannes Kepler Discovered the Stars in the Milky Way While Galileo Explored Jupiter and Venus

Which of the following was NOT done by Galileo Galilei?turning the telescope to the sky and believing what it showed his eyesdiscovering four large moons around Jupiterresolving the Milky Way into many, many starsdiscovering that Venus goes through phases (like the Moon)explaining retrograde motion with the heliocentric hypothesis

explaining retrograde motion with the heliocentric hypothesis

Galileo Galilei did not resolve the Milky Way into many, many stars. This task was completed by Galileo’s contemporary astronomer, Johannes Kepler. Kepler used the telescopes to observe the Milky Way, and instead of seeing a smooth band of light in the sky, he found that it consisted of many individual stars. Galileo, on the other hand, discovered four large moons around Jupiter, resolved that Venus goes through phases (like the Moon), explained retrograde motion with the heliocentric hypothesis and turned the telescope to the sky and believing what it showed his eyes.
