Correct choice: "It allowed scientists to observe objects in space in much greater detail."
Brief explanation:
- Telescopes let scientists see moons of Jupiter, phases of Venus, lunar craters, sunspots, and finer details of stars and planets — evidence that transformed astronomy and supported the heliocentric model.
- The other statements are incorrect: astronomy existed long before the telescope; telescopes did not disprove heliocentrism (they provided evidence for it); and people had studied the sun, moon, and stars before telescopes, though not in such detail.
