Johannes Kepler

Johannes Kepler was a German mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer. He is a key figure in the 17th-century scientific revolution, best known for his laws of planetary motion, and his books Astronomia nova, Harmonices Mundi, and Epitome Astronomiae Copernicanae. Kepler's work provided one of the foundations for Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation.

  1. 1. The Harmony of the Worlds

    "The Harmony of the Worlds" is a scientific text that presents the author's innovative and groundbreaking theories on planetary motion. The author proposes that the movements of the planets in our solar system are not random, but rather follow precise mathematical relationships, likening these celestial patterns to harmonious musical notes. The book is a fundamental work in the history of astronomy, and it has had a profound influence on our understanding of the universe and its laws.

  2. 2. Epitome of Copernican Astronomy

    This book is a comprehensive exploration of the Copernican system of astronomy. The author delves into the theories and principles proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus, discussing the heliocentric model of the universe where the Sun, rather than the Earth, is at the center. The book includes detailed explanations and mathematical proofs supporting Copernicus's theories, making it a valuable resource for understanding the foundations of modern astronomy.
