The heliocentric theory posits the sun as the center - of the solar system with planets orbiting it. Galileo used a telescope to observe celestial bodies, providing evidence for the heliocentric view. He did not create the heliocentric theory (Copernicus did), nor did he state planets move in circular paths (Kepler refined orbits to ellipses), and Newton discovered the law of gravity.
