In addition to the idea that Jupiter has moons orbiting it, what other evidence did Galileo use to support Copernicus’s model and disprove Aristotle and Ptolemy?

Galileo's observations of Jupiter's orbiting moons showed that there were other centers of motion in the universe. Galileo's most crucial observation was the observation of Venus in different phases, which directly supported the idea that objects orbit the Sun rather than Earth.
