Kepler was a German astronomer. In 1593 he was appointed professor of mathematics at Graz, and about 1596 began writing to Tycho Brahe. About 1600 he moved to Prague to aid him in his work. After Tycho's death in 1601 Kepler became the astronomer to Emperor Rudolf II. In 1612 he became a math teacher at Linz and in 1628 astrologer to Wallenstein. In his book Mysterium in 1596 he proclaimed that 5 kinds of regular polyhedral bodies govern the 5 planetary orbits; and in his Harmonice Mundi Kepler's Third Law that the "square of a planet's periodic time is proportional to the cube of its mean distance from the sun." He tried to find a law for the movement of Mars and in 1609 published his first and second laws which formed the ground work for Newton's discoveries and are the starting point of modern astronomy. He also made many discoveries in optics, physics, and geometry. Johannes Kepler is an mathematician an astronomer and an astrologer
