Johannes Kepler Publishes Harmony of the World

Date: 1619 A.D.
Author: Johannes Kepler, German Astronomer and Mathematician

Dear Journal,
     Everything is starting to make sense now. God's laws are simple ones. From that day my mathematics professor Michel Maestlin lectured on Copernicus's heliocentricism, I have believed it. Even when Brahe took the middle road by saying that the planets revolved around both the sun and the Earth, I was not swayed. Though I say this with the utmost respect to the great Brahe, for it was his amassing of such enormous data that helped lead me to my conclusions. Now, building on Copernican theory, I have revised it using elliptical orbits instead of circular ones. The system I devised is more accurate in predicting planetary position. Harmonies of the World will show to many the simplicity and symmetry of God's universe.
