He is actually more noted for his discoveries and proofs, rather than theories.
He is sometimes called the father of modern astronomy, the father of modern physics, and the father of science.
He observed the moons of Jupiter, which helped support the heliocentric model of the solar system proposed by Copernicus and later Kepler.
He was a pioneer in rigorous experimentation and insisting on a mathematical description of the laws of nature.

He didn't have too many theories. He was too busy looking at planets and the moon and things like that. He got in a lot of trouble claiming that the "heliocentric theory" was FACT and anyone who didn't think so was a dumb-***.

I don't know of any theories from Galileo.
but he did make some observations that got others to thinking and led them to great things. Newton comes to mind.
