What did Johannes Kepler contribute to the study of planets?

Kepler used mathematical analysis of planetary observations to show that planets move in elliptical orbits and to describe their motion with precise laws. These findings supported the heliocentric model, in which planets orbit the Sun. Tycho Brahe collected the detailed data, Galileo identified Jupiter’s first moons, and Isaac Newton formulated the universal law of gravitation.
