Abstract Johannes Kepler was the first science who discovered the law of orbits, the law of planetary motion and the law of area. He is a german scientist who completely changed the way how people look at stars and planets. Germany are widely known for their achievement in Sciences and for their intelligences. They were able to adapt old theory and improve unfinished work, such as Johannes Kepler, Albert, etc. Kepler uses old sciences and adapted it so that it could be used in the future. Analyzing through the old theories and connect it all together.

Keywords: German, Scientist.

When Kepler was born, he had two brothers and one sister and The kepler family fortune was in decline. His father, Heinrich Kepler, was a soldier and left the family was Kepler was 5 years old. They believed that Kapler’s Father died in the Eighty Years War in Netherland. His mother, Katharina Guldenmann, was a healer and herbalist. She would help people around the town including Kepler in himself. His young-self was week and sick. He was send to hospital often and get sick very easily. Due to his condition he wasn’t allowed to travel a lot. Therefore, he would often impress his phenomenal mathematical faculty to the travelers that is staying in his grandfather’s inn. Later soon, Kepler was introduced to astronomy and developed to love it that gradually span in entire life. He was love to sit outside and observe the stars as he stay outdoor. Unfortunately, his childhood smallpox left him with weak vision and crippled hand that limits his ability. Later on, Kapler was awarded a scholarship to the University of Tubingen, where he studied philosophy to become a Lutheran Minister. He studied the work of ‘Nicolaus Copernicus’. Nicolaus was the first guy who presented the fact that the planet orbits the sun rather than the earth. But unfortunately, his work weren’t as accurate as it’s suppose to be. Therefore, Kepler continued his work by using Nicolaus diagram and adapting it into a closer-to-reality diagram. In the 1500s, The catholics believe that people who are astronomers are witches and believe that they are all insane. Therefore, if they find any astronomers, those people would be put away. It was very risky for Kepler to come out and present his ideas. Kepler also didn’t consider his discoveries as a scientific law, while newton considered his discoveries as a scientific

After Brache’s death, Kepler inherited his astronomical data. Johannes Kepler of Germany was inspired by the Neoplatonism and his continues sighting of Brahe, he set forth his solution for what is keeping the planets in their orbits. Kepler was able to affirm that the solar system itself is regular and it is organized by mathematically determined relationships. Both Tycho Brahe of Denmark and Johannes Kepler of Germany laid groundwork for Isaac Newton and his

Other scientists like Nicolas Copernicus believed in the Heliocentric Theory. At first, it didn’t explain how the planets orbits the way they did and was very hesitant to share it with others. In 1601, another scientist named Johannes Kepler proved that Copernicus idea was correct. They show that the planets rotate around the sun. Another method Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo developed was called the Scientific Method.

Between 1300’s and 1700’s was the time of the Renaissance. During this time, astronomy inflated with discoveries. There were multiple advanced astronomers; two astronomers who made an enormous influence on the Copernican theory were Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler. Although the Copernican theory was established by Nicolaus Copernicus, it was Kepler and Galileo who greatly impacted it. Without the help of Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler, the Copernican theory would not have been proven and remembered.

He was also introduced to astronomy from a very young age and his love for the subject stayed with him for the rest of his life. his poor vision and his crippled hands due to small-pox, left him at a disadvantage when it came to the observational portion of astronomy.

Most people have heard of the famously brilliant Galileo also known as the father of astronomy. This ingenious man born on February 15, 1564 would later grow to shape the world forever. He did something that was dangerous and as many would say, idiotic. He took a stand against the church. Galileo’s long struggle against the church about his ideas that the Earth revolved around the sun was handled rashly by the Inquisitor who put him under house arrest for the rest.

After years of work and studies newton yet again reveals another great discovery when Edmund Halley gave newton a visit in 1684 regarding the planetary motion. Newton met withj Halley and thus promised him to send his calculations and theorys on planetary motion over to him. Durin gthe procces of keeping his promise newton produced his de moto of 1684.Later stemming from that he released his most important and known piece of literature Principia. Although Sir Isaac Newton's books and manuscripts he produced were some of his most prestigous accomplishments his most important things to come out of his life were the creation of the many laws he discovered through is studies. Three important ones were Newtons three laws of motion.

Circular orbits were the mainstream belief of how the planets moved for a very long time before Kepler proposed his laws. It did take a great amount of time for people to accept and submit to Kepler’s fascinating and profound discovery of his second law of planetary motion, most of all, because the orbits (according to Brahe’s precise calculations) proved that although the planets did not move in perfect circles, they were painstakingly close to being perfect circular motions. Moreover, some theorists today call this law is called his “second” law of planetary motion, although it is actually the first one that he discovered, founded between 1600 and 1601 after Tycho passed away. This assumption could be due to how closely related the three laws are amongst each other. Kepler’s second law describes the

Today virtually every child grows up learning that the Earth orbits the Sun, but four centuries ago the heliocentric solar system, where the Earth orbits the Sun, was so controversial that the Catholic Church classified it as a crime of heresy (UCLA). In the age of early philosophy, Socrates’ is well known. Between the Socratic method and his line of successful students, Socrates’ makes the history books. Galileo Galilei turned astronomers on their heads when he discovered moons around Jupiter. Giordano Bruno didn’t back down from any of his brilliant and different ideas.

His new theory disproved Aristotle’s claim that the earth is the center of the universe. Not only did Galileo prove the accepted theories of his time wrong, but he allowed astronomers and scientists after him to improve and make even more discoveries with his telescope. His discoveries with have paved the way for modern astronomy. Without Galileo’s actual invention of the telescope, we would know very little about space and the universe today. Galileo’s original discoveries were built upon and we are now able to send people up to space and have agencies such as NASA that discover more things about the universe and space each year.

Nicolaus Copernicus established the concept of a heliocentric system that validates that the sun, rather than the earth, is at the center of our solar system. Later on, he is now known as the “Father of Modern Astronomy”. Early Life On February 19, 1473 in Torun, Poland, Barbara Watzenrode and Nicolaus Copernicus Sr. had their fourth child, Nicolaus Copernicus (Armitage,

Copernicus raised controversy between his manuscript Commentariolus and De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium. They said that he lacked an explanation as to why the Earth orbits the Sun. Copernicus' theories also incensed the Roman Catholic Church and was considered heretical. In 1543, De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium was published, religious leader Martin Luther voiced his opinion on the heliocentric solar system model. Lutheran minister Andreas Osiander, quickly followed saying of Copernicus, “This fool wants to turn the whole art of astronomy upside down.”
