Answer:
Kepler's work in astronomy was new in part. Unlike those who came before him, he discarded the assumption that planets moved in uniform circular motion, replacing it with elliptical motion. Also, like Copernicus, he asserted the physical reality of a heliocentric model as opposed to a geocentric one.
Explanation:
The discovery of four moons of Jupiter showed that the Earth was not the only center of motion… The Phases of Venus demonstrated decisively that Venus orbits the Sun. The Copernican Revolution gives us an important framework for understanding the Universe. We do not occupy a special or privileged place in the Universe.
