Answer 1

Answer: D is correct.

Explanation: very simple example ...Galileo observed celestial bodies that circulate around other celectial bodies (until then people were convinced that all the celestial bodies run around the Sun). In this particular case Galileo observed (one of) Jupiter´s natural satellites. It was a novelty, revolutionary finding.

The Correct Answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

• Galileo's measurements established his knowledge in Copernicus' hypothesis that Earth and all different planets revolve nearby the Sun.
