He was a German scientist who assisted Braha, another scientist. What he did was draw the orbit of the planets according to Copernicus theory, that the planets orbit in a circle pattern, and found a major problem in the pattern they move in . Johannes Kepler relieved that Mars doesn’t actually orbit in a circular pattern as stated. In 1609 he shared his findings that the planets don’t orbit in a circle but in an elliptical, oval, pattern around the Sun. Another thing was he was the first scientist to actually speak out to support Copernicus's theories and prove that the planets orbit around the sun and not the Earth.

Rene Descartes is an amazing example of the scientific revolution because he shows how everything needs to be questioned and to not just take something as true cause someone said it
