Kepler Discovers How Planets Move
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Johannes Kepler, using the precise data of Tycho Brahe, described how planets move. He showed that planets orbit the Sun in ellipses, not circles. He also found that planets move faster when closer to the Sun and that more distant planets take proportionally longer to complete their orbits.
