Johannes Kepler
Johannes Kepler discovered that planets have elliptical orbits in the early 17th century. Kepler's work was based on observations made by Tycho Brahe and his own mathematical calculations. His laws of planetary motion laid the foundation for modern understanding of celestial mechanics.
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.
Johannes Kepler formulated this idea in his work "Astronomia Nova" in 1609. He described the movement of planets in elliptical orbits with the Sun located at one of the foci.
Johannes Kepler did not invent log books. Kepler was a German astronomer and mathematician who lived from 1571 to 1630. He is known for his laws of planetary motion and his work on optics. Log books were used for record-keeping on ships long before Kepler's time.
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.
Johannes Kepler continued the work of Nicolaus Copernicus while studying the elliptical paths of planets. Kepler formulated his laws of planetary motion, which described the orbits of planets around the Sun. Isaac Newton later built upon both Copernicus and Kepler's work by developing the law of universal gravitation.
All of them.
Eventually.
His work on planetary orbits.
Kepler made discoveries regarding the planet's distance from the sun and how long it takes a planet to orbit the sun. In Newton's Version of Kepler's Third Law, Newton expands on these ideas by using his Theory of Gravity.
Kepler is famous for his laws of planetary motion. This played a major fundamental role in Newton's work on gravity.

Kepler's "running mate" would have to be Tycho Brahe. It was Brahe whose work (observations) Kepler used as a springboard to think about the motions of the planets and what mechanism could make them appear to do the things they did.
