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

    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.

    Nicholas Copernicus the Polish astronomer, however, presented the heliocentrism theory that the sun was in the center. Johannes Kepler the German astronomer followed Copernicanism by discovering that the path of the planets' orbits is more elliptical than circular, as was previously thought. Sir Isaac Newton,an English physicist would later uphold this theory by establishing his laws of gravity. The Scientific Revolution brought changes in the Christian concept of the world, for the previous generations the geocentral models were consistent with Christian beliefs. The establishment of a new scientific model of the universe in the face of moderate Catholic opposition demonstrates the break with

    By establishing that gravity, introduced by Galileo, played a role in the orbital understandings of Kepler, Newton also presented the law of universal gravitation in application to these three universal laws of motion in his 1687 publication. Newton’s development of his law of gravity corroborated Kepler’s theory of elliptical orbits and propelled a new method in the research of physics. Newton himself wrote the sentiment that, “To the same natural effects, we must, as far as possible, assign the same causes.” The findings of Newton prompted physics research to focus on patterns in the natural world that are universally

    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.

    Johannes Kepler, being of German background, is a well known astronomer who is credited with discovering his innovative laws of planetary motion, which are used in many branches of science today. He started small, and grew his ideas with time. Now, we can thank Johannes Kepler for the many astounding discoveries made towards the solar system, as well as its pattern, paths, and order. In speaking of Kepler’s lifestyle, he had a rough childhood. After losing his father in war, he also was panged with a weak immune system and had many health problems.

    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.

    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.
