Kepler and the Universe: How One Man Revolutionized Astronomy
Year: 2015 Language: english Author: David K. Love Genre: History Publisher: Prometheus Books Edition: 1st ISBN: 978-1-63388-106-8 Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 253 Description: A contemporary of Galileo and a forerunner of Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) was a pioneering German scientist and a pivotal figure in the history of astronomy. This colorful, well-researched biography brings the man and his scientific discoveries to life, showing how his contributions were every bit as important as those of Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. It was Kepler who first advocated the completely new concept of a physical force emanating from the sun that controls the motion of the planets—today we call this gravity and take it for granted. He also established that the orbits of the planets were elliptical in shape and not circular. And his three laws of planetary motion are still used by contemporary astronomers and space scientists.
