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. Lea
Johannes Kepler also began to make studies of the works that Tycho had left, for that reason he realized that the movement of the planets was not correctly explained by a model of perfect polyhedrons and harmonic spheres. based on this, the scientist tried with varieties and combinations of ci...
Nick Kollerstrom in The Mountain Astrologer April/May 2001, quotes Arthur Koestler, "The Watershed: A Biography of Johannes Kepler," 1960 and P.I.H. Naylor in "Astrology: A Fascinating History," which quotes Kepler discussing his own chart, "The 25th degree of Gemini was rising and the 22...

Johannes Kepler determined the astronomical refraction of rays and calculated a formula for it, which was completed geometrically by J. D. Cassini in 1661. In 1627, after a long delay in printing, his "Tabulae Rudolphinae" were published. ...
Johannes Kepler was an astronomer and mathematician who discovered that planets and other objects travel in elliptical orbits around the sun, which led to the three laws of planetary motion. His achievements include important work in optics and math. ...
PythagoreanTheaetetus(c. 417–369bce). Book X, whichcomprisesroughly one-fourth of theElements, seems disproportionate to the importance of its classification of incommensurable lines and areas (although study of this book would inspireJohannes Kepler[1571–1630] in his search for a cosmological ...

Then he studied the work of physicists and mathematicians such asGalileo GalileiandJohannes Kepler, he continued this study analyzing the thinking of Giordano Bruno and Tommaso Campanella, as well as th...
