Monument to the German astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler (1571-1630). Kepler lived and worked as a mathematics teacher in Graz, Austria between 1594 and 1600. He published Mysterium Cosmographicum (The Cosmographic Mystery), his first major astronomical work, in 1596. Later, he devised the three fundamental laws of planetary motion and introduced the theory that planets followed elliptical paths around the sun.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Johannes Kepler monument, located in Weil der Stadt, Germany. The statue pays tribute to the renowned German astronomer and mathematician, Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), who made groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of the universe. Kepler's journey began as a mathematics teacher in Graz, Austria during 1594-1600. It was there that he published his first major astronomical work, "Mysterium Cosmographicum" (The Cosmographic Mystery) in 1596. This publication laid the foundation for his later achievements. Famous for formulating the three fundamental laws of planetary motion, Kepler revolutionized celestial mechanics by introducing the concept that planets follow elliptical paths around the sun. His revolutionary ideas challenged prevailing beliefs about a geocentric solar system and paved the way for modern astronomy. Captured against Keplers birthplace backdrop, this photograph not only captures his profound legacy but also highlights his significant impact on scientific history. With its historical significance and astronomical symbolism, this monument stands tall as a testament to Kepler's brilliance and enduring influence on our understanding of space. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable image with utmost precision and clarity - an exquisite portrayal of both artistry and scientific excellence.
