• He doubted whether his theories would be accepted by other astronomers

What was Tycho Brahe's most significant contribution to modern science according to the text?

• He discovered that planets orbit the sun in elliptical orbits.

• He was the first person to study the sky with a telescope.

• He emphasized the importance of careful observation and detailed records.

• He discovered that moons orbit Jupiter.

According to the text, what did Johannes Kepler try to do after Tycho Brahe's death?

• He tried to map the orbits of the planets.

• He discovered craters and mountains on the moon.

• He studied the sky and performed experiments to learn about motion mechanics.

• He was the first person to study the sky with a telescope.

Which of the following discoveries is attributed to Kepler as mentioned in the text?

• Planets orbit the sun in elliptical, not circular, orbits.

• The human eye sees images reversed, like a camera.

• Both A and B are correct.
