He then said boldly that it was impossible that so good an observer as Tycho could be wrong by eight minutes, and added, " out of these eight minutes...that will explain the motions of all the planets." He then proceeded to explain the theory of motion in ellipses. I shall now speak of elliptic motion.... | |

...eight minutes of a degree. He then said boldly that so good an observer as Brahe could not be wrong by eight minutes, and added, " Out of these eight minutes...will construct a new theory that will explain the motion of all the planets." The theory thus constructed was, that all the planets move in ellipses... | |
