Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer, mathematician and astrologer, who discovered laws of planetary motion. Kepler was a key figure in the Scientific Revolution of the 17th Century – confirming the theories of Copernicus and laying the foundation for Issac Newton to discover the laws of gravity. He also worked on optics, inventing an improved version of the refracting telescope. Kepler sought to show that scientific reason was compatible with religion and belief in an intelligent God – he described his astronomy as "celestial physics."
