Correct! Johannes Kepler discovered that planetary orbits were elliptical rather than circular. To arrive at this discovery, Kepler analyzed extensive astronomical data collected by his predecessor, Tycho Brahe. Kepler formulated his three laws of planetary motion, known as Kepler's Laws, which significantly advanced our understanding of the movement of celestial bodies. Kepler's first law states that the planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one of the foci. This discovery revolutionized our understanding of the structure of the solar system.
