On May 7, the second German silver commemorative coin of the year 2009 on the topic of ‘ 400 appears years Kepler laws ‘ Johannes Kepler was born in 1571 in the Wurttemberg because of the city and grew up in cramped family and social conditions. More is always on the large oriented spirit to admire the life all petty and selfish remained foreign. In the year 1600, Emperor Rudolph II. took the scientists in the position of Imperial mathematician in the Czech capital as the direct successor of the famous Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe. The monarch hoped for by Kepler Council in Astrological predictions and calendar questions. As administrator of the scientific heritage of Brahe, Kepler could evaluate its valuable journals and writings to planetary observations and make so its astronomical derivatives on a sound empirical basis. Kepler took the then still highly controversial doctrine of Copernicus his astronomical and cosmological considerations, which is based on a heliocentric system of the world.
However, Copernicus moved world centre of Earth into a massless, geometrically-defined point of the Earth’s orbit. Kepler realized this mistake and defined the true centre of our planetary system with the Sun. With the published 1609 Astronomia Nova of brilliant scientists presented for the first time a uniform, equally valid for all planet theory: the discourse of an irregular, elliptical train movement of the planets broke with all medieval notions of uniform circular motions of the celestial bodies, so with an up to date around 2000 years valid understanding of astronomy.

This fracture rises the Kepler genius, who also, according to the jury of the Federal Ministry of Finance on the 10-euro commemorative coin 400 years Kepler laws”is clear and whose artistic realization by the Stuttgart Art Professor Ulrich Bohme to highlight is: from the few and sometimes controversial portraits of Kepler’s the artist has created a profile Portrait of new, artistically convincing and the personality of Kepler’s honors”, according to the assessment of the design competition. While the idea succeeded excellently to show only the distinctive features of the profile and pictorially represent the mathematical physical discharges closely behind it. Continue to a geometric figure is depicted, which serves to explain the orbit, and is a representation of a forward moving barge as a symbol for the planet durcheilenden by the celestial ather. Both drawings come from Kepler 400 years ago published Astronomia Nova”.
