The Birth of Copernicus
He was born on Feburary 19th 1473. His birth started off the Scientific revoultion. He would end up studying cosmology and formulated that the earth was not the center of the universe, which caused anger in the Catholic Church. Before his death on May 24th 1543, he released a book called De revolutionibus orbium coelestium that started off modern astronomy and defined epiphany that would help bring forth the scientific revoultion. -
Brahe and Kepler
On Feburary 4th, 1600, Kepler met Brahe where Tycho Brahe's observatory was being built. They ended up teaming up and did studying together for the next few months. But on April 6th 1600, arguments between the two ended their employment with each other. Apartently Brahe kept his infromation to himself, while Kelper shared his infromation with him. -
Burring of Giordano Bruno
Giodano Bruno was born in 1548, and died on Feburary 17th 1600. He was burned at the stake for heresy in 1600 because of his "wrong" opinions on the Catholic church, Chirst and the mass. Some other "wrong" doings he does is deny the virgin Mary, doing Magic and having "wrong" opinions about recarnation. -
Eponymous laws of planetary motion
Johannes Kepler was born on May 16th, 1571. He was a german mathematician and astronomer and played a huge part in the scientific revoultion. Johannes Kepler made the Eponymous laws of motion with the books Astronomia nova, Harmonices Mundi, and Epitome of Copernican Astronomy. These laws eventually lead to other findings such as Newtons universal gravity. -
The Starry Messenger
Galileo Galilei was born on Feburary 15th 1564. He made many discoveries with the telescope, including what stars really were in his 1610 novel The Starry Messenger. He quoted in this book that he found out that the stars were really desent suns, the brighter and bigger they were, the closer they were to Earth. Most people found this hard to beileve and didn't believe anything he said. -

He was at first sentanced to life in prison, but then ended up being house arrest for life. -
Geometry
Rene Descartes wrote the book Geometry in 1637 and is called the father of analytical geometry. He put most of his mathatical work into this one book. Analytical Geometry is mostly the math between the algebra and geometry. This type of geometry features coordinates on a chart and uses algebraic methods to analyse the graph. This form of geometry is the foudation of many other forms of geometry like algebraic geometryand differental geometry. It is also widly used in physics and engineering. -
Cogito ergo sum
The book Discourse on the Method was made in 1637 and Principles of Philosophy in 1644. Bith are part of a famous quote of his, in which goes by Cogito ergo sum or " I think, therefore I am; or I am thinking, therefore I exist or I do think, therefore I do exist" in english. -

During his time, Sir Issac Newton wrote one of the, if no the, best scientific books of all time in Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ( or Mathematical Principles Of Natural Philosophy), made the first reflecting telescope and helped make calculus. He is famous for being the first to describe the three laws of motion.
