CELEBRITY OF THE MONTH
Johannes Kepler
445th Birthday (December 27, 1571 – November 15, 1630)
Kepler's laws of planetary motion

Johannes Kepler was a German mathematician and astronomer who discovered that the Earth and planets travel about the sun in elliptical orbits. He gave three fundamental laws of planetary motion. He also did important work in optics and geometry. He was born in the small town of Weil der Stadt in Swabia and moved to nearby Leonberg with his parents in 1576. Throughout his life, he was a profoundly religious man. He was convinced that God had made the Universe according to a mathematical plan. He believed firmly in the Copernican system. Kepler was forced to the realization that the orbits of the planets were not the circles demanded by Aristotle and assumed implicitly by Copernicus, but were instead the "flattened circles" that geometers called as ellipses. Kepler obtained Brahe's data after his death despite the attempts by Brahe's family to keep the data from him in the hope of monetary gain.
