(Naked-eye) pieces gave strong evidence for a geocentric worldview of the Universe. Old models
favored coherence with the ‘uniform circular motion’ piece of the puzzle.
Kepler rejected that piece and designed a model basically similar to our model. His system is simpler
than his predecessors and offers accurate descriptions and predictions. However, he failed to explain
why planets moved that way.
Few years after Kepler, the telescope was invented. Galileo used throroughly his telescope and made
important discoveries (new pieces to the puzzle):
Description of the moon,
The moon of Jupiter
Sunspots
The phases of Venus.
Galileo’s discoveries gave strong evidence for the heliocentric view of the world.
His discoveries led him to troubles with the Church (‘Yet it turns…’)
Later, Newton (1687) introduced his laws of motion to explain the movement of the planets.
