The scientist responsible for the discovery of elliptical orbits is Johannes Kepler. In the early 17th century, he formulated his three laws of planetary motion, with the first law stating that planets move in elliptical orbits around the Sun, rather than in perfect circles. This groundbreaking work laid the foundation for modern astronomy and significantly advanced the understanding of celestial mechanics.
