Johannes Kepler Research Paper

400 Words2 Pages

The person of interest that I have created a twitter account for is Johannes Kepler. To begin, I researched why Kepler was important in the science world. With the information that I gathered, I used it to briefly describe Kepler in his bio. While doing research I found that he was born in Germany, so to make the twitter account accurate, I put his information in German. In the bio it informs others that he was an astronomer, astrologer, and mathematician. The most important piece of information is that he created the three major laws of planetary motions. His first law explains that the planets orbit the Sun in a route describe as an ellipse. The second law states the speed of any given planet while it orbits the sun. The third and final law

    Galileo's discoveries were, to a great extent, a turning point in astronomy and science. His development with the telescope helped further the understanding of the universe, and his investigation of the laws of motion provided fundamental contributions to science. However, due to the power of the Catholic church, his impact on science did not happen immediately. Born in Pisa, Galileo was a true renaissance man, excelling at many different endeavours. He was an Italian philosopher, mathematician, physicist and astronomer, and is credited for laying the foundations of modern science.

  • What Is The Arguments To Kepler´s New Astronomy?

    875 Words  | 4 Pages

    1st- Within this excerpt from Kepler’s work called New Astronomy, he describes how the belief that the Earth rotates around the Sun does not contradict the Scripture of God. In order to claim this premise, he builds this idea on a series of arguments and explanations. Kepler first argument elaborates on the idea that people in society produce most of their supporting evidence for their interpretation of the Bible through the use of senses, specifically that of sight. He argues that empirical observations cannot always support their interpretations of the Scripture because there is much that society cannot accurately describe just using their sense of sight. Kepler uses this argument to show that society should not always trust its observations and that even though there is no observed feelings of wind or vibrations, society should not claim that this absence of observed phenomenon supports their interpretation of the Bible that there is a geocentric universe.

    Tycho's extensive observations of celestial phenomena laid the groundwork for Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Kepler's three laws not only explained the orbits of the planets around the Sun but also provided compelling evidence for the heliocentric model. This reliance on empirical evidence as a basis for scientific understanding marked a fundamental departure from earlier speculative approaches. The Emergence of the Scientific Method The Scientific Revolution witnessed the formalization of the scientific method, a systematic approach to acquiring knowledge through observation, hypothesis testing, and experimentation.

This new information has greatly impacted society, by allowing everyday civilians to gain a greater understanding of the vast world around them. However none of this would have been possible, if not for the work of Johannes Kepler, pioneering the way for many of great astronomy related discoveries.

    The Kepler mission was launched six years ago, at March of 2009. The goal of the program is to the satellite to search for planets that are habitable. The Kepler satellite has found 1031 confirmed exoplanets, 4696 candidate exoplanets, and 12 confirmed exoplanets that are smaller than Earth. Two of the planets the Kepler mission discovers are the Kepler -447b and Kepler-448b.

    One of the most well known astronomers of all time is Nicolaus Copernicus. He was known to think outside of the box and dreamt of bigger things in life. Copernicus did not see the world and its surroundings like everyone else did. Having such a brilliant mind helped him discover an important theory. Many scientists and astronomers would never see our solar system the same.

    Kepler was a fundamental piece of person in the 17th-century scientific revolution. He is known for his laws of planetary motion that were based on his works Astronomia nova, Harmonices Mundi, and Epitome of Copernican Astronomy. These works also provided one of the foundations for Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation. Kepler was a math teacher at a seminary school in Graz, where he became a friend of Prince Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg. Later he became an helper or assistant to the astronomer Tycho Brahein Prague, and then the imperial mathematician to Emperor Rudolf II and his two followers Matthias and Ferdinand II.

    Many scientists thought that planets would travel in circles around the earth, but not Kepler, he believed that planets orbited the sun, and not the earth, he additionally uncovered that their paths were imperfect circles. The infrequent issue was tackled by the expansion of smaller than expected circles test — epicycles — to planetary ways. Johannes Kepler made many accomplishments, but one that is really important in today’s society, are the eyeglasses, Kepler invented the the lenses of the glasses.

    Galileo Galilei was a famous scientist and mastermind in philosophy, astronomy, mathematics and has changed mankind's thinking for the greater good many times with his ideas such as the telescope. This revolutionary opus of technology was heavily improved upon by Galileo and had opened a new universe unable to see with the naked human eye. Countless astronomers have discovered new planets, moons, stars, and beyond with the telescope. Without it, humanity would have a less understanding of the known universe, physics, time and space and would not have a proper jump start to exploration. Also Galileo had important contributions and mathematical equations to the formation of inertia and how/why things worked.

He didn't want to “publish it for fear of ensuing controversy” and “out of hope for more data”(p.5). He believed that the solar system revolved around the sun. He challenged the Geocentric view by creating the Heliocentric view. Copernicus was born February 19, 1473.

    Mr. Nicholas Copernicus has selected me to defend him and his latest uncovering of the Earth’s true position in the solar system. It has been brought to my attention that the church clergy has a problem with his latest discovery of the heliocentric solar system. To all it’s evident that this solar system is going against the church teachings, but shouldn’t the people know the truth about the position of the earth in the already mysterious solar system. After years of being taught that Earth is the center of the universe, it is important they know the true location of what they call home. Nicholas Copernicus is a valued scientist, furthermore deserves to be heard.

    For many years, it has been believed and scientifically proven that only the planet Earth can sustain life. And without it, we’ll no longer have a place to call home. However, with the Earth’s drastic condition - climate change, greenhouse gases, depletion of the ozone layer, and etc.- the astronomers have been searching for a planet that can save us from the ultimate fate of the Earth- and to also prove that we are not alone. Thus, after long years of research, we have found Kepler-452b. Here is a gist of what has been discovered about Kepler-452b:
