Johannes Kepler: The Laws of Planetary Motion In the interplay between quantitative observation and theoretical construction that characterizes the development of modern science, we have seen that Brahe was the master of the first but was deficient in the second. The next great development in the history of astronomy was the theoretical intuition of Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), a German who went to Prague to become Brahe's assistant. Brahe's Data and Kepler Kepler and Brahe did not get along well. Brahe apparently mistrusted Kepler, fearing that his bright young assistant might eclipse him as the premiere astonomer of his day. He therefore let Kepler see only part of his voluminous data. He set Kepler the task of understanding the orbit of the planet Mars, which was particularly troublesome. It is believed that part of the motivation for giving the Mars problem to Kepler was that it was difficult, and Brahe hoped it would occupy Kepler while Brahe worked on his theory of the Solar System. In a supreme irony, it was precisely the Martian data that allowed Kepler to formulate the correct laws of planetary motion, thus eventually achieving a place in the development of astronomy far surpassing that of Brahe. Kepler and the Elliptical Orbits Unlike Brahe, Kepler believed firmly in the

Johannes Kepler Michael Fowler, UVa Physics Galileo and Einstein Home Page Link to Previous Lecture (Tycho Brahe) As a seven-month child, Kepler was sickly from birth, and contracted smallpox when very young. His vision was severely defective, and he had various other illnesses fairly constantly, some of which may have been hypochondria. He took twice as long as normal children to get through elementary latin. He did a little better when he got to the higher school at Maulbronn, a school which only half a century earlier was haunted by the ill-famed Dr. Faustus (ref 2). While lecturing to his math class in Graz, contemplating some geometric figure involving concentric circles and triangles on the blackboard, Kepler suddenly realized that figures of the type shown here determine a definite fixed ratio between the sizes of the two circles, provided the triangle has all sides equal, and a different ratio of sizes will occur for a square between the two circles, another for a regular pentagon, and so on. Mysterium Cosmographicum the mystery of the universe (explained). The crucial illustration from his book is shown below, the outer sphere being the orbit of Saturn, and the central part is shown magnified at top right.

Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) Kepler's teacher in the mathematical subjects was Michael Maestlin (1580-1635). Maestlin was one of the earliest astronomers to subscribe to Copernicus's heliocentric theory, although in his university lectures he taught only the Ptolemaic system. Only in what we might call graduate seminars did he acquaint his students, among whom was Kepler, with the technical details of the Copernican system. Kepler stated later that at this time he became a Copernican for "physical or, if you prefer, metaphysical reasons." In 1594 Kepler accepted an appointment as professor of mathematics at the Protestant seminary in Graz (in the Austrian province of Styria). He was also appointed district mathematician and calendar maker. Kepler remained in Graz until 1600, when all Protestants were forced to convert to Catholicism or leave the province, as part of Counter Reformation The Cosmographic Mystery , in which he argued that the distances of the planets from the Sun in the Copernican system were determined by the five regular solids, if one supposed that a planet's orbit was circumscribed about one solid and inscribed in another. Kepler's model to explain the relative distances of the planets from the Sun in the Copernican System.

Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler (Condensed Version: see below for links to fuller version) Michael Fowler University of Virginia Index of Lectures and Overview of the Course Link to Previous Lecture These two colorful characters made crucial contributions to our understanding of the universe - Tycho's observations were accurate enough for Kepler to discover that the planets moved in elliptic orbits, and his other laws, which gave Newton the clues he needed to establish universal inverse-square gravitation. What you should know: Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), from a rich Danish noble family, was fascinated by astronomy, but disappointed with the accuracy of tables of planetary motion at the time. He decided to dedicate his life and considerable resources to recording planetary positions ten times more accurately than the best previous work. After some early successes, and in gratitude for having his life saved by Tycho's uncle, the king of Denmark gave Tycho tremendous resources - an island with many families on it, and money to build an observatory. (One estimate is that this was 10% of the gross national product at the time!) Tycho built vast instruments to set accurate sights on the stars, and used multiple clocks and timekeepers. He achieved his goal of measuring to one minute of arc. This was a tremendous feat before the invention of the telescope. His aim was to confirm his own picture of the universe, which was that the earth was at rest, the sun went around the earth and the planets all went around the sun - an intermediate picture between Ptolemy and Copernicus.

The Galileo Project Science Johannes Kepler Johannes Kepler Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) Johannes Kepler was born in Weil der Stadt in Swabia, in southwest Germany. His paternal grandfather, Sebald Kepler, was a respected craftsman who served as mayor of the city; his maternal grandfather, Melchior Guldenmann, was an innkeeper and mayor of the nearby village of Eltingen. His father, Heinrich Kepler, was "an immoral, rough and quarrelsome soldier," according to Kepler, and he described his mother in similar unflattering terms. From 1574 to 1576 Johannes lived with his grandparents; in 1576 his parents moved to nearby Leonberg, where Johannes entered the Latin school. In 1584 he entered the Protestant seminary at Adelberg, and in 1589 he began his university education at the Protestant university of Tübingen. Here he studied theology and read widely. He passed the M.A. examination in 1591 and continued his studies as a graduate student. Kepler's teacher in the mathematical subjects was Michael Maestlin (1580-1635).

Moreover, he calculated the most exact astronomical tables hitherto known, whose continued accuracy did much to establish the truth of heliocentric astronomy ( Rudolphine Tables , Ulm, 1627).

Branch of Science Astronomers Nationality German Kepler, Johannes (1571-1630) Austrian mathematician and astronomer who got himself taken on as an assistant to Brahe in order to get access to his planetary tables. Kepler had been trained as a Platonist and Neopythagorean, and was given to rather mystical views, as exemplified in his work Mysterium Cosmographicum. Nevertheless, Kepler was also a confirmed Copernican. In fact, he wanted to use Tycho's data to prove the validity of the Copernican theory. He analyzed the vast amount of data upon Brahe's death. From this data, he prepared new planetary tables (called the Rudolphine Tables). At first, he determined the shape of planetary orbits to be ovoid, but rejected this result for aesthetic reasons. Going back over his calculations, he found and corrected an error. The new shape turned out to be an ellipse which fit well into Kepler's Pythagorean views on nature. Kepler tried all sorts of mystical notions to describe planetary orbits, using the Platonic solids and musical analogies. Spread out through his voluminous calculations in

Johannes Kepler was born on December 27, 1571. Kepler attended school in Adelberg, Tubingen, and Maulbronn, Germany. Upon completion of his formal education, he accepted a position as chair in mathematics and astronomy at Graz, Germany. His first writing (Cosmographic Mystery written in 1596) supported the work of Copernicus. This work supported the idea that the sun, not the earth, was the center of the solar system. Early in his career he studied the planet Mars. Kepler proved that the orbit of Mars is an ellipse with the Sun occupying one of its foci. This observation was the basis of his first law of planetary motion, the one that states that planets travel in elliptical orbits. His second law of planetary motion, published in 1609, describes the concept of planetary velocity. His third law, published in 1619, describes the relationship between the orbital periods of the planets and their distances from the Sun. His work was the foundation for Newton's theory of gravitation. In other writings, Kepler dealt with optics (1604), telescope lenses (1611), the appearance of a nova (1604), and Galileo's astronomical observations (1910). Kepler's last work, known as the Rudolphine Tables, was a widely used compilation of tables of planetary motion. Kepler died on November 15, 1630. References Asimov, I. (1964).
