False.
While some of Galileo’s observations (e.g., Jupiter’s moons, lunar craters) were quickly accepted, his broader physical and astronomical claims—especially heliocentrism and his challenge to Aristotelian physics—met strong resistance from many scientists and the Church and were not widely accepted until decades later.
