    Johannes was an intern to Tycho Brahe, and had the most updated tools for his study at the time. He saw the possiblity to test his astronimical theories, but Brahe was a geocentric world viewer (Saw the world as the center of our solar system) Kepler was Heleocentric world viewer and often conflicted with each other. After the death of Brahe in 1601, Kepler viewed Brahe's data and instruments to study his heleocentric theory.
