project
Johannes Kepler, a 17th Century astronomer and
mathematician, published three laws of planetary motion that improved
upon Copernicus's heliocentric model. These laws were made possible by
years of accurate planetary measurement collected by Kepler's
predecessor, Tycho Brahe. Kepler's laws were a radical change from
previous astronomical models for the Solar System which maintained the
ancient Greek idea of perfect circular motion. With the Stellarium
planetarium software, we are able observe the orbit of the planets and
test some of his ideas.
For this part of the project, use a computer simulation to test Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Please read through the assignment background information and follow the steps listed in the lab assignment instructions
