Johannes Kepler, German astronomer who discovered three major laws of planetary motion. His discoveries turned Nicolaus Copernicus’s Sun-centered system into a dynamic universe, with the Sun actively pushing the planets around in noncircular orbits.
Aug 30, 2023 · Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) was a German astronomer and mathematician most famous for creating what was up to that point the most accurate model of planetary astronomy with his three laws of planetary motion.
Dec 22, 2023 · Johannes Kepler was an astronomer best known for his three laws of planetary motion, which describe how the planets move in ellipses around the sun. His name is also well-known thanks to NASA's...

Oct 6, 2004 · Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) was a mathematician and physicist who not only observed, but also sought to explain the celestial dance above. Four centuries ago, an evening's entertainment was as simple as stepping out to gaze at the night sky.
May 2, 2011 · Johannes Kepler (1571–1630) is one of the most significant representatives of the so-called Scientific Revolution of the 16 th and 17 th centuries.
Johannes Kepler was a German mathematician and astronomer who discovered that the Earth and planets travel about the sun in elliptical orbits. He gave three fundamental laws of planetary motion. He also did important work in optics and geometry.
Considered a pioneer in astronomy, Johannes Kepler is best known for his three laws of planetary motion. The first and most famous law states that planets orbit in ellipses, not in circles, as was the common belief at the time.
