He was an Italian friar, philosopher, mathematician and astronomer. His cosmological theories went beyond the Copernican model in proposing that the Sun was essentially a star. He was burned at the stake, being found for heresy.

Kepler published the Three Laws of Planetary Motion. One of the laws stated "An equal area of the plane is covered in equal time by planet revolving around the Sun. (or the period of revolution around the Sun is proportional to distance from the Sun.)" Kepler was able to summarize the carefully collected data of his mentor—Tycho Brahe—with three statements that described the motion of planets in a sun-centered solar system.
