A short history

Johannes Kepler (1571 -1630)

German mathematician, astronomer and astrologer

A major figure in the scientific revolution of the 17th century. He published his laws of planetary motion in 1609. He played a decisive role in the long view that the sun revolves around the Earth. He realized that the orbits of the Earth and the other planets around the sun were eligible rather than purely circular. He discovered that because a planet's orbit is elliptical, the speed of a planet orbiting the Sun is not constant but varies within the elliptical orbit.
