O B. It proved that the invention of the telescope could lead to important astronomical discoveries.

O C. It contradicted church doctrine and led others to begin questioning commonly held beliefs about the world.

O D. It proved the controversial work of Galileo Galilei and put to rest a decades-long scientific debate.
