Johannes Kepler was an astronomer. He originally studied to be a theologian at the University of Tübingen. He became very interested in astronomy, and his math professor Michael Maestlin encouraged his interest. Maestlin was an early believer in Nicolaus Copernicus’s idea that Earth and the other planets move around the Sun. He taught Kepler all about Copernicus’s ideas.
