2 2009 (- 1609) International year of Astronomy Kepler s First Law That the planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus. Kepler s Second Law That the speed of the planet changes at each moment such that the time between two positions is always proportional to the area swept out on the orbit between these positions. Kepler s Third Law(1619) That the ratio of the length of the Johannes semi-major Kepler axis ( ) of each planet's orbit (cubed), to the time of its orbital period (squared), is the same for all planets. Galileo's Notes on Jupiter Galileo moons Galilei( ) (1609) Published 1610

3 Truth Pre Kepler / Galileo Observations Aristotelian Natural philosophy Kepler / Galileo Truth Observations Quantitative measurements Deduction of logical Quantitative interdependence of Physical quantities

4 In A Kepler sand most important Galileo's modern time question: the greatest what unanswered is the composition questions concerned of matter the and structure energy in of the solar Universe? system What is dark matter? What is dark energy? How and where are the heavy elements from iron to uranium made? What is the distribution of elements in the Universe? How did this distribution evolve?
