A month later, the sky map shows clearly that the planets move among the stars

Galileo discovered evidence to support Copernicus’ heliocentric theory when he observed four moons in orbit around Jupiter. Beginning on January 7, 1610, he mapped nightly the position of the 4 “Medicean stars” (later renamed the Galilean moons). Over time Galileo deduced that the “stars” were in fact moons in orbit around Jupiter. [Adapted from Galileo Galilei, 1610, Sidereus Nuncius (“The Starry Messenger.”)]
![Page 12: Stars and the Solar System. Appearance (Phases) of the Moon during a month](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e0f5503460f94af935d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Possibly the most compelling argument Galileo made in favor of the Heliocentric Universe of Copernicus was based on the observations of Venus. Galileo observed the phases of Venus throughout the year. At times Venus presented a small but circular disk and at other times a large crescent. Based on these facts as illustrated in his drawings in Sidereus Nuncius, Galileo reasoned that Venus must orbit the Sun; proof of the Copernican Universe.

Orbits of the Three Inner Galilean Moons An animation of the three-way mean motion resonance that guarantees the stability of the Jovian system. Io orbits Jupiter in 1.77 days (about 43 hours). The next moon, Europa, completes an orbit in twice that period (3.55 days), while the third moon, Ganymede, completes an orbit in twice the period of Europa (7.15 days). In each case the orbital period defines the day/night cycle. All four Galilean moons always turn the same hemisphere to Jupiter because of tidal drag. Wikimedia image created 2006 by Splarka.

Venus is always within an angle of 47° of the sun. That is why it is seen either just after sunset (evening ‘star’) or just before sunrise ( morning ‘star’).

There are 12 constellations (Rashis) in the Zodiac. The sun stays in each constellation for about a month. On 21 August the sun appears to be in Leo. On 21 July it is in Cancer. On 21 March it is in Pisces.
