```

By early 1610, Galileo had further improved his telescope by
|
||||
double its power, so it now enlarged objects a thousand
|
||||
times. He began looking at the stars and couldn't believe how
|
||||
many more he could now see! The number seemed infinite. He was
|
||||
beginning to realize the fixed stars weren't a flat distant
|
||||
wall on a globe, but a three-dimensional expanse bigger than
|
||||
anyone had ever thought!
|
||||
|
||||
Then, on January 7, about an hour after sunset, Jupiter rose
|
||||
in the east, and Galileo happened to turn his powerful scope
|
||||
on its bright disk. It wasn't the first time he had looked at
|
||||
Jupiter, but before it was with one of his lesser-powered
|
||||
telescopes. This time, though, he noticed three small but
|
||||
bright stars near the planet, two to one side and one to the
|
||||
other. He wondered at how bright the small stars were and how
|
||||
they were arranged in what seemed like a straight line. The
|
||||
next night he decided to look at Jupiter again, and to his
|
||||
surprise, the stars had moved. But not in such a way as he
|
||||
would expect. If Jupiter was moving as it normally should, the
|
||||
stars would be east of Jupiter. But all three were to the
|
||||
west! The next night was cloudy, but on January 10, Galileo
|
||||
was able to observe the planet again. One of the stars was
|
||||
gone, and the other two were now on the east side. As the
|
||||
stars moved around Jupiter on each succeeding night, and were
|
||||
finally joined by a fourth star, it dawned on Galileo that
|
||||
what he had found were moons orbiting Jupiter! Almost at once
|
||||
he realized that this was proof that not all objects orbited
|
||||
the Earth. Here were four bodies that were orbiting
|
||||
Jupiter. One argument against the sun-centered theory was, if
|
||||
the Earth orbited the sun, wouldn't the moon get left behind?
|
||||
Here he could see for himself that somehow, a planet could
|
||||
orbit the sun, and not leave a moon behind!
