Its Orbit.

Johannes Kepler (Germany), who lived between the time of Copernicus (Poland) and Isaac newton (England), correctly postulated that all of the sun's planets indeed revolve about the sun in orbits which have the shape of an ellipse, with the sun at one focus of the ellipse. Isaac Newton, in his Principiae Mathematica, further stated, essentially, that any planet orbiting any star, or any moon orbiting any planet, would follow an elliptical path.
