Johann Kepler

Johann Kepler was born on December 27, 1571 in Weil der Stadt, Württemburg, in The Holy Roman Empire of Germany. He died at age 58 on November 15, 1630.He went to college studing Luthern Ministry and learned about the ideas of Copernicus. Kepler became interested in these ideas and began to study them further.

Kepler is one of the most important scienctists. He is mostly known for his studies in the field of astrology. For every discovery that Johann made he would always credit God in some way.

**__Johannes is famous for his three laws of planetary motion.__** 1. The orbit of a planet about the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun's center of mass at one focus.

2. A line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time.

3. The squares of the periods of the planets are proportional to the cubes of their semi-major axes.

Before Kepler, the world thought that the solar system revolved around Earth in Circular patterns. Johannes proved this wrong by calculating the distance and time traveled.

If it wasn't for Johannes Kepler the world would be very different today. Kepler has laid the foundation for studies on planetary motion. Without the discoveries of Johannes the Earth would be ignorant to the universe.

 __HERO __        Johannes Kepler is awarded with the __Scienctific Hero Award__ for his achievments as a scienctist. Kepler advanced the field of astrology in the aspect of planetary motion. He proved that the solar system does not revolve around the earth, but the sun. He also states that the paths of the planets are ellptical not circular. Other than astrology Kepler achieved great things. He explained the use of both eyes in the human body. Johann also determined the date of Christ's birth and explained the use of lens to improve vision both near and far. Johannes Kepler's journey to greatness was not easy at all. He was born to a poor family that incouraged him to persue Luthern ministry. Once his work started getting noticed he was forced to convert to Catholism or flee the area. Johann managed to overcome the hard times and greatly improve science. A lot of what is discovered today in astrology could not of been fathomed without the basis of Kepler's ideas. Many other areas of science today could not of been advance with out Kepler and his discoveries.

Scientific Hero Award

Wanted  Johannes Kepler is here by sentanced to lifetime imprisionment. Kepler has failed to follow the orders of the Holy Roman Empire and now will parish. He was told to convert to Catholism or flee and he has done neither. Johannes Kepler is wanted for heresy because he has been taking the glory of the universe from God.
