What year did Brahe and Kepler work together to defend the heliocentric theory?

Tycho Brahe was a nobleman and a difficult character, and it would have been beneath his dignity to 'work together' with Kepler, one of his employees. Most of Kepler's work was done after Brahe's death when he gained access to the figures from Brahe's detailed high-quality measurements. Kepler used the measurements and assumed the heliocentric idea - the Sun at the centre - to produce his three laws of planetary motion. Many years later Newton's discoveries of the laws of motion and the law of gravity, plus his use of differential calculus, showed why Kepler's laws are as they are, and the heliocentric theory was later generally accepted.


Did Copernicus publish his findings?

Yes, in 1543, the year of his death.


What is was unable to prove his theory of planetary motion so it was not widely accepted by the scientific community Later Galileo used a telescope to prove the theory with evidence This is an?

He was too scared to publish his work because he was afraid of being caught by the Church, which strongly believed in the geocentric theory. Copernicus didn't publish his work until he was on his deathbed. Even when he did published it, it wasn't under his own name, instead under the name of 25-year-old George Rhetis.


Why was Copernicus afraid to publish his work until the year of his death?

Nicolaus Copernicus was hesitant to publish his heliocentric model primarily due to the potential backlash from the Church and the prevailing scientific community, which adhered to the geocentric model. He understood that his ideas challenged long-held beliefs and could provoke significant controversy and persecution. Additionally, he feared that his revolutionary concepts might be met with ridicule. Ultimately, he published "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" shortly before his death in 1543, likely feeling a sense of urgency to share his findings despite his fears.

Was Nicolaus Copernicus famous during life or death?

He was a Polish clergy member who suggested the theory of the sun being the universe (heliocentric theory) instead of the Earth being the center (geocentric theory). I believe he is famous after death, since he did not publish his findings and date information about the heavens until the last year of his life, in fear of the Catholic Church damning him to purgatory for questioning their authority and belief of the geocentric theory.
