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 Learn more about Kepler’s life and discoveries in this article

Directly named for Kepler's contribution to science are: Kepler's laws of planetary motion; Kepler's Supernova SN 1604, which he observed and described; the Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra (a set of geometrical constructions), two of which were described by him; and the Kepler conjecture on sphere packing

What is Kepler’s third law? Kepler’s third law, also called the law of periods, states that the square of the orbital period is proportional to the cube of its mean distance, R

Kepler used simple mathematics to formulate three laws of planetary motion Kepler's First Law stated that planets move in elliptical paths around the Sun He also discovered that planets move proportionally faster in their orbits when they are closer to the Sun; this became Kepler's Second Law

Johannes Kepler's contribution to the Scientific Revolution was to demonstrate that the planets do indeed move around the Sun as Copernicus had suggested and that they move in elliptical orbits, increasing in speed as they get closer to the Sun

In Kepler’s model, we have to be able to reduce all appearances to straightness and curvature as providing the foundation for the geometrical structure of the world’s creation The very first category, through which God produced a fundamental similitude of the created World to Himself, is that of quantity (see MC, chapter 2, KGW pp 23–26)
