Why Kepler's Laws Matter

Published between 1609 and 1619, Kepler's three laws of planetary motion were among the first mathematical descriptions of how the solar system actually works. They replaced centuries of circular-orbit assumptions with precise, testable rules. Isaac Newton later used these laws as the foundation for his theory of universal gravitation, and they remain central to modern astrophysics and spacecraft engineering today.
