- Johannes Kepler was a German scientist who initially worked as Tycho's assistant.
- Although the motions of celestial bodies had been qualitatively explained in physical terms since Aristotle introduced celestial movers in his Metaphysics and a fifth element in his On the Heavens, Johannes Kepler was the first to attempt to derive mathematical predictions of celestial motions from assumed physical causes (which led to the discovery of the three laws of planetary motion that carry his name).
- Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer and mathematician, who played an important role in the 17th century Scientific Revolution.
-
- In 1516, Johann Tetzel, a Dominican friar and papal commissioner for indulgences, was sent to Germany by the Roman Catholic Church to sell indulgences to raise money to rebuild St.

-
- The Imperial general Johann von Werth and Spanish commander Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Spain ravaged the French provinces of Champagne, Burgundy, and Picardy, and even threatened Paris in 1636.
-
- The discoveries of Johannes Kepler and Galileo gave the theory credibility and the work culminated in Isaac Newton's Principia, which formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation that dominated scientists' view of the physical universe for the next three centuries.
-
- Johannes Kepler in 1615 could only by the weight of his prestige keep his mother from being burnt as a witch.
