Before Newton people though the planets moved around due to magnetism or being swept around by matter. In Principia, Newton proves that universal gravitation is actually the reason the planets move around the Sun. Universal gravitation is the theory that all objects with mass are attracted to all other objects wiith mass. He proved that this fit with previously established theories such as Kepler's second law. The Principia was unique for it's time because it connected terrestrial physics (why things happen on Earth) with celestial physics (why things happen in space).
