Explanation: according to the medieval teaching of the church, all the creation was in the center and "down", surrounded by various planetary spheres beyond which there were stationary stars. According to this idea, all the space was full of ether. Galileo was one of those who helped to relativize this dogma ("absolute truth") offering empirical findings of celestial bodies that do not going around of the Earth. Galileo observed one of Jupiter moons (natural satelite) circulating around Jupiter. At that time it was something unimaginable. Galileo helped to destroy medieval view of the space and world.
