Examples of Johannes Kepler in the following topics:
-
- Following Copernicus and Tycho, Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei, both working in the first decades of the 17th century, influentially defended, expanded and modified the heliocentric theory.
- Johannes Kepler was a German scientist who initially worked as Tycho's assistant.
- In 1600, Kepler set to work on the orbit of Mars, the second most eccentric of the six planets known at that time.
- Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer and mathematician, who played an important role in the 17th century Scientific Revolution.
- Assess the work of both Copernicus and Kepler and their revolutionary ideas
-
- Johannes Kepler followed Tycho and developed the three laws of planetary motion.
- Kepler would not have been able to produce his laws without the observations of Tycho, because they allowed Kepler to prove that planets traveled in ellipses, and that the Sun does not sit directly in the center of an orbit but at a focus.
- Galileo Galilei came after Kepler and developed his own telescope with enough magnification to allow him to study Venus and discover that it has phases like a moon.
- By deriving Kepler's laws of planetary motion from his mathematical description of gravity, and then using the same principles to account for the trajectories of comets, the tides, the precession of the equinoxes, and other phenomena, Newton removed the last doubts about the validity of the heliocentric model of the cosmos.
- Kepler published Astronomiae Pars Optica (The Optical Part of Astronomy) in 1604.
-
- 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.
- By deriving Kepler's laws of planetary motion from his mathematical description of gravity, and then using the same principles to account for the trajectories of comets, the tides, the precession of the equinoxes, and other phenomena, Newton removed the last doubts about the validity of the heliocentric model of the cosmos.
-
- Johannes Kepler in 1615 could only by the weight of his prestige keep his mother from being burnt as a witch.
-
- Building on the body of work forwarded by Copernicus, Kepler and Newton, 18th-century astronomers refined telescopes, produced star catalogs, and worked towards explaining the motions of heavenly bodies and the consequences of universal gravitation.
- Observations of Venus in the 18th century became an important step in describing atmospheres, including the work of Mikhail Lomonosov, Johann Hieronymus Schröter, and Alexis Claude de Clairaut.
- The name Uranus, as proposed by Johann Bode, came into widespread usage after Herschel's death.
- The name Uranus, as proposed by Johann Bode, came into widespread usage after Herschel's death.
-
- The printing press was invented in the Holy Roman Empire by the German Johannes Gutenberg around 1440, based on existing screw presses.
- Johannes Gutenberg's work on the printing press began in approximately 1436 when he partnered with Andreas Dritzehn—a man he had previously instructed in gem-cutting—and Andreas Heilmann, owner of a paper mill.
-
- He also commissioned Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky,
a Prussian merchant with a successful trade in trinkets, silk, taft and porcelain, to promote the trade and open
a silk factory, where soon 1,500 people found employment.
- In 1763, he issued a decree, which was the first Prussian general school law based on the principles developed by Johann Julius Hecker.
- Bach, Johann Joachim Quantz, Carl Heinrich Graun and Franz Benda.
- A meeting with Johann Sebastian Bach in 1747 in Potsdam led to Bach's writing The Musical Offering.
-
- 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.
- Luther objected to a saying attributed to Johann Tetzel that "As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs."
- That autumn, Johann Eck proclaimed the bull in Meissen and other towns.
- Johann Eck, speaking on behalf of the Empire as assistant of the Archbishop of Trier, presented Luther with copies of his writings laid out on a table and asked him if the books were his, and whether he stood by their contents.
-
- He wrote plays such as Shakuntala, which is said to have inspired the famed German writer
and statesman, Johann von Goethe, centuries later.
-
- In 1543, Vesalius asked Johannes Oporinus to publish the seven-volume De humani corporis fabrica (On the fabric of the human body), a groundbreaking work of human anatomy.
