Johannes Kepler (1571-1630)
Johannes Kepler (born December 27, 1571, Weil der Stadt, Württemberg Germany died
November 15, 1630, Regensburg), German astronomer who discovered three
major laws of planetary motion, conventionally designated as follows: (1)
the planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus; (2) the time necessary
to traverse any arc of a planetary orbit is proportional to the area of the sector between
the central body and that arc (the “area law”); and (3) there is an exact relationship
between the squares of the planets’ periodic times and the cubes of the radii of their
orbits (the “harmonic law”). 
Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
Galileo was a hugely influential Italian astronomer, physicist and philosopher.
Galileo Galilei was born on 15 February 1564 near Pisa, the son of a musician. He
began to study medicine at the University of Pisa but changed to philosophy and
mathematics. In 1589, he became professor of mathematics at Pisa. In 1592, he moved
to become mathematics professor at the University of Padua, a position he held until
1610. During this time he worked on a variety of experiments, including the speed at
which different objects fall, mechanics and pendulums.
Tycho Brahe (1546-1601)
Tycho Brahe, (born December 14, 1546, Knudstrup, Scania, Denmark died October 24,
1601, Prague), Danish astronomer whose work in developing astronomical instruments
and in measuring and fixing the positions of stars paved the way for future discoveries.
His observations the most accurate possible before the invention of the telescope—
included a comprehensive study of the solar system and accurate positions of more
than 777 fixed stars.

(2.2)
Tycho Brahe was a good collector of astronomical data. Kepler was a mathematician
and pure theorist, while Galileo was an experimentalist. Their contribution helped prove
that Earth is indeen not the center of the universe.

Contribution of Galileo Galilie
His contributions to observational astronomy include the telescopic confirmation of the
phases of Venus, the observation of the four largest satellites of Jupiter, the observation
of Saturn's rings, and the analysis of sunspots.

Contribution of Tycho Brahe

 Tycho Brahe , made important contributions by devising the most precise instruments
available before the invention of the telescope for observing the heavens.
Contribution of Johannes Kepler
Though Kepler is best known for defining laws regarding planetary motion, he made
several other notable contributions to science. He was the first to determine that
refraction drives vision in the eye, and that using two eyes enables depth perception.
