Johannes Kepler, caricature
Johannes Kepler. Caricature of the German astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), holding a model of a cube to represent his theories of the planetary orbits. Kepler first worked out the laws of planetary motion, which still bear his name. Using Copernicus heliocentric model of the solar system, along with Tycho Brahes data on the position of the planets, he found that planets orbit the Sun on elliptical paths with the Sun at one focus, that the area swept out by a planet is the same regardless of where it is in its orbit, and that a planets orbital period is proportional to the long axis of its orbit to the power of 3/2. He thought the planetary distances were based on the sizes of nested Platonic solids, which include this cube

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a caricature of the renowned German astronomer, Johannes Kepler. In this artistic portrayal, Kepler is depicted holding a model of a cube, symbolizing his groundbreaking theories on planetary orbits. Known as the father of modern astronomy, Kepler revolutionized our understanding of celestial motion by formulating the laws that bear his name. Drawing inspiration from Copernicus' heliocentric model and utilizing Tycho Brahe's meticulous planetary data, Kepler discovered that planets follow elliptical paths around the Sun with one focus at its center. Moreover, he revealed that regardless of their position in orbit, planets sweep out equal areas over equal time intervals. Additionally, he unveiled the relationship between a planet's orbital period and the long axis of its orbit to the power of 3/2. Kepler also delved into an intriguing hypothesis regarding planetary distances based on nested Platonic solids – including this very cube held in his hand. This illustration beautifully captures both his scientific achievements and imaginative musings. As we gaze upon this monochrome artwork capturing a pivotal figure in history, we are reminded not only of Kepler's immense contributions to astronomy but also his enduring legacy as one who dared to challenge conventional wisdom and unlock the secrets hidden within our vast universe.
