Document Summary

Publication contained his set of mathematical laws which describe motions of objects through space and time, gravity, can predict orbits, and describe a deterministic universe. Saturn orbits the sun slower due to being further. Earth orbits the sun faster due to being closer. First to understand that the various images of saturn result from it having a ring. Published synopsis of astronomy of comets in 1705. Slight difference in orbital paths due to jupiter. Jupiter is very massive so has strong gravitational pull. First to detect the proper motion of stars. Discovered the 76-year cycle comet that bears his name. First to discover that some but not all planets have periodic nature.
