Did Kepler support geocentric or heliocentric?

Kepler spent his entire adult life trying to figure out what kind of arrangement would be the simplest and most accurate explanation for the motions we actually see in the sky. He tried several of them, and he eventually determined that the best fit was obtained if the planets, including the earth, all moved in elliptical orbits around the sun. That's heliocentric.

Did both Kepler and newton use math to support a heliocentric view of the universe?

Yes, both Kepler and Newton used mathematics to support the heliocentric view of the universe. Kepler formulated his three laws of planetary motion based on careful observations and mathematical analysis. Newton's law of universal gravitation provided a mathematical explanation for planetary motion around the Sun, further solidifying the heliocentric model.


Where is the Kepler telescope today?

Kepler never had a telescope. All of his breakthrough accomplishments that totally revolutionized human understanding of the observable universe were accomplished with brain, pen, paper, and the notebooks of Tycho Brahe ... who likewise never had a telescope.

What do Copernicus Galileo kapler and newton have in common?

Galileo did not have his own theory. He was a supporter of Copernicus's heliocentric theory and an opponent of the geocentric Ptolemaic theory. Eventually both theories were rejected in favour of Kepler's theory. But Kepler's theory uses the heliocentric idea from Copernicus's theory.
