Answer 1

Hi. Just so you will not have any answers, the main change was our understanding that the Earth was not the center of the universe. Kepler discovered that all orbits follow the same rules and described these rules. (Equal areas are swept out in equal time.) For info on each scientist do a bit or searching on the net. Hope this gets you started.
