Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer. He is a key figure in the 17th century scientific revolution, best known for his laws of planetary motion, and his books 'Astronomia nova', 'Harmonices Mundi', and 'Epitome Astronomiae Copernicanae'. These works also provided one of the foundations for Newton's theory of universal gravitation.

Kepler considered God to be a great geometer: his creation responded to a predetermined plan of perfect distances and proportions. (+info)
