💫Astronomy 101 with uncle Jo💫
1. The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the sun at a focus
2. A line joining the sun and a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times
3. The square of a planet’s orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit
For anyone wondering why it’s not a university in Germany where I was born:
I traveled A LOT even though it took weeks to get somewhere sometimes and I lived in Linz for a long time, working as a Mathematician for 14years!
Pov: you remarry 2 years after your 1st wife’s death🤪🤪
Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures of my second wife Susanne Reuttinger:/
r.i.p. to her and our 7 children, may God be with you.
@GoldnoseTycho Even though it was… let’s say ✨difficult✨to work with you and your geocentric beliefs sometimes, I’m still very grateful to got to work at your observatory with you bestie:)
Thanks to your collection of accurate data I was able to make my greatest discovery!
My discovery of the laws of planetary motion were a great influence on @JosephsmithE3 ! He used them to make his greatest discovery: the theory of universal gravitation. You’re welcome bro����
My discoveries turned @Thelegendcopern ‘s Sun-centred system into a dynamic universe, with the Sun actively pushing the planets around in noncircular orbits✨✨
#DidYouKnow my eyesight got really bad ever since I got sick as a child.
Nevertheless, I made import contributions to optics and have been considered to have laid the foundation of modern optics!
The haters wouldn’t even be able to see my tweets without my hard work🥸
Without my correct explanation of the working of our eyes or my formulation of the inverse-square law governing the intensity of light, modern optics wouldn’t have improved the way it did
#DidYouKnow I originally wanted to become a Protestant minister and was formally schooled in Latin? Pretty cool ik, i could cuss you out in Latin without you knowing😘😘
Thinking back to when my mother had been accused accused of witchcraft, thrown in prison and tortured for 14months.
It was a nightmare and an exhausting legal battle against Vogt Lukas Einhorn but I was able to free her in the end. #cancelwitchhunting#DidYouKnow
#DidYouKnow I’m not only an astronomer, I’m also a mathematician, astrologer, natural philosopher, author and writer on music! In other words: I’m simply AMAZING!✨
