B. he used the telescope to make observations about the solar system
Galileo Galilei is known for using his telescope to make significant astronomical observations that supported the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus. His observations of the moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, and the details of the Moon's surface provided strong evidence that not everything in the universe revolved around the Earth, as was commonly believed in the geocentric model.
