Johannes Kepler, German astronomer
Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), German astronomer and mathematician. Kepler lived and worked as a mathematics teacher in Graz, Austria between 1594 and 1600

Copernican solar system, 1690 artwork. This heliocentric (Sun-centred) solar system was proposed by the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus in 1543

Meteor shower orbit, 19th century artwork. Artwork from the 1886 ninth edition of Moses and Geology (Samuel Kinns, London). This book was originally published in 1882

Life zones around three stars, artwork. The star types are, from top: hotter stars, sunlike stars, and cooler stars. The colours show the habitable zones (green)

Scarred quantum wave. Computer model showing the paths taken by a wave trapped inside a stadium- shaped cavity. The paths show the movement of a particle which is behaving like a wave

Atom, artwork
Atomic structure. Conceptual computer artwork of nine electrons orbiting a central nucleus. Other particles are seen around the atom. This is a classical schematic Bohr model of an atom

Subatomic particles abstract

Atomic structure, conceptual artwork
Atomic structure. Conceptual computer artwork of electron orbit paths as rings around the central nuclei (dark clusters) of atoms. This is a classical schematic Bohr model of atoms

Atomic energy, conceptual artwork
Atomic energy. Conceptual computer artwork of a reaction occuring at the atomic level, showing a release of energy. Electron orbit paths are seen as rings around the central nuclei (dark clusters)

Bussingers System
Caspar Bussingers system, demonstrating his theories concerning the obliquely elliptical orbits of the planets round the Sun
