    that the planets do not move in a circular motion but in a motion called ellipses. The astronomer’s name is Johannes Kepler. Kepler came up with three laws of planetary motion. He created formulas to explain how long it would take for the planets to make a full revolution around the sun. But before we delve into the laws let’s start with the background of Johannes Kepler. Johannes Kepler was born on December 27‚ 1571 in Württemberg‚ Germany. He lived in a time period where science and religion

The only problem was that the images were upside down‚ Johannes Kepler added a third convex lens to make the images the right side way. Even though this

    Tycho Brahe‚ and Johannes Kepler had both seen supernovas or explosion of an old stars‚ when they reported seeing very bright stars. The motions of the planets were complicated to understand than placing them. Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe‚ devised a geocentric model in which planets orbited the Sun‚ which in turn orbited the Earth‚ and he amassed a huge set of data on the planetary positions. Johannes Kepler used Brahe’s data to formulate Kepler’s laws of planetary motion. Kepler mathematically proved
