Edward Condon

Condon said he replied: "I believe in Archimedes' Principle, formulated in the third century B.C. I believe in Kepler's laws of planetary motion, discovered in the seventeenth century. I believe in Newton's laws...." and continued with a catalog of scientists from earlier centuries, including the Bernoulli, Fourier, Ampère, Boltzmann, and Maxwell.

Henry Draper Medal

The medal was most recently awarded in 2013 to William J. Borucki "For his founding concept, unflagging advocacy, and visionary leadership during the development of NASA's Kepler mission, which has uncovered myriad planets and solar systems with unforeseen and surprising properties.".

Hunt for Exomoons with Kepler

As with previous searches, though, no moons were conclusively discovered, constraining the maximum mass of a Kepler-22b moon below 0.54 Earth masses with 95% confidence.

Ignatius His Conclave

The text mocks Jesuit evangelism and makes references to many scientists of the day, including Copernicus, Kepler, Brahe, and Galileo.

James Bradley

This discovery of what became known as the aberration of light was, for all realistic purposes, conclusive evidence for the movement of the Earth, and hence for the correctness of Aristarchus' and Kepler's theories; it was announced to the Royal Society in January 1729 (Phil. Trans. xxxv. 637).

Jeb Dunnuck

The first was the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) instrument that’s currently orbiting Mars and the second is the Kepler program, which is NASA’s mission to search for other habitable planets.

Kepler Kessel

The name of Kepler Kessel derives from the famous astronomer Johannes Kepler who moved to Ulm in 1627 to finish and publish his famous works later known as the Rudolphine Tables.

Kepler Lake

The Kepler Lake Community have Jamestown addresses and ZIP Codes but Castor phone numbers and live within the Castor district of the Bienville Parish School Board.

Kepler star

Kepler's Supernova, a supernova that occurred in the Milky Way, observed by the naked eye in 1604

Kepler Object of Interest, a star observed by the Kepler spacecraft which is suspected of hosting one or more transiting planets

Kepler-10b

On January 13, 2011, 3 days after the planet's discovery was announced, The Economist published an article suggesting “Vulcan” as an unofficial name for the planet, after both the hypothetical planet, and the Roman god of the same name.

Kepler–Poinsot polyhedron

Norwegian artist Vebjørn Sands sculpture The Kepler Star is displayed near Oslo Airport, Gardermoen.

Lagrange's reversion theorem is used to obtain numerical solutions to Kepler's equation.

Landsbanki

In 2005, Landsbanki acquired three European securities houses: Teather & Greenwood, located in London and Edinburgh; Kepler Capital Markets, headquartered in Paris; and Merrion Capital Group in Dublin.

Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector

The hydrogen atom is a Kepler problem, since it comprises two charged particles interacting by Coulomb's law of electrostatics, another inverse square central force.

Mathematical beauty

As there are exactly five Platonic solids, Kepler's hypothesis could only accommodate six planetary orbits and was disproved by the subsequent discovery of Uranus.

Michael Maestlin

In Jules Verne's Cinq semaines en ballon (Five Weeks in a Balloon) the character of Joe, the manservant, is described as enjoying, "in common with Moestlin, Kepler's professor, the rare faculty of distinguishing the satellites of Jupiter with the naked eye, and of counting fourteen of the stars in the group of Pleiades, the remotest of them being only of the ninth magnitude."

Music of the Spheres Society

Music of the Spheres” is a term applied to an idea put forth by the Greek scholar Pythagoras (6th century BCE) and his followers, among them Plato and Kepler, that the proportional ratios used to describe musical intervals also refer to those of the physical universe, including the orbiting motion of planets.

Mysterium Cosmographicum

This book explains Kepler's cosmological theory, based on the Copernican system, in which the five Pythagorean regular polyhedra dictate the structure of the universe and reflect God's plan through geometry.

PH1

Kian Jek, from San Francisco, and Robert Gagliano, from Cottonwood, Arizona, spotted the signature of the planet in the Kepler data, and it was reported through the PlanetHunters.org program run by Dr. Chris Lintott, from Oxford University.

Philip III, Landgrave of Hesse-Butzbach

Philip III also corresponded with the astronomers Kepler and Galileo.

Quaestiones quaedam philosophicae

Elsewhere, in his notes on Kepler's laws of planetary motion that he read about in the book Astronomiae carolina by Thomas Streete, he reached the conclusion that gravity must not merely act on the surfaces of bodies but on their interiors.

Regular polyhedron

Kepler's work, and the discovery since that time of Uranus and Neptune, have invalidated the Pythagorean idea.

SETI Institute

The SETI Institute’s public outreach efforts include working with teachers and students in promoting science education and the teaching of evolution, working with NASA on exploration missions such as Kepler and SOFIA, and producing a weekly science program: Big Picture Science.

SHIWA project

Spherical polyhedron

Two hundred years ago, at the start of the 19th Century, Poinsot used spherical polyhedra to discover the four regular star polyhedra.

Tadeáš Hájek

Tadeáš Hájek was in frequent scientific correspondence with the recognized astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) and played an important role in persuading Rudolph II to invite Brahe (and later Kepler) to Prague.

This Is Your Captain Speaking

The band was then signed to UK label Resonant Records (Do Make Say Think, Tarentel, Kepler), who re-issued the album in Europe in 2006.
