Astronomia Nova by Johannes Kepler
Second edition, completely revised, of the only English translation of Kepler's 1609 masterpiece. A work of astonishing originality, Astronomia Nova stands, with Copernicus's De Revolutionibus and Newton's Principia as one of the founding texts of the scientific revolution. Kepler revolutionized astronomy by insisting that it be based upon physics rather than ideal geometrical models.With his three laws of motion, Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), one of the founders of modern astronomy, changed the Copernican heliocentric conception of the universe: the planets travel in elliptical orbits, their speed is highest when closest to the sun, and the sun and planets constitute an integrated system. Epitome of Copernican Astronomy, Harmony of the Worlds, and On the Six-Cornered Snowflake are among Kepler's works.
