Ellipses.
Johannes Kepler was the person who first showed that planetary orbits are ellipses. His work, published in 1609, is known as Kepler's first law of planetary motion.
ellipses.
Kepler's 1st law states that the orbits of the planets around the sun and makes an ellipse. This is taught in astronomy.
Kepler used Tycho Brahe's precise observational data to formulate his three laws of planetary motion. These laws described the shape and speed of planetary orbits as ellipses and showed that planets move at varying speeds along their orbit. Kepler's calculations were based on observation and meticulous mathematical analysis, laying the foundation for modern celestial mechanics.
Kepler developed the Laws of Planetary motion, which include the orbits of planets being elliptical.
He showed that the planets traveled in elliptical orbits

Kepler realised the planets orbits are not circles; they are ellipses.

ellipses.
Johannes Kepler, using measured planetary positional data provided by Tycho Brahe, showed that the orbits of the planets were ellipses ("flattened circles"), with the Sun at one focus of the eliipse.

No, Johannes Kepler is best known for describing the laws that dictate how orbits work. The Kepler planets were discovered by the Kepler telescope, a spacecraft named in his honor.
