Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion/Historical Note

Historical Note
derived his three laws of planetary motion in the early $1600$s from a concentrated study over the course of $20$ years of the colossal wealth of observational data which had been made previously by of the behavior of the planets of the solar system, and in particular Mars.

He published these results in his gigantic work.

It was who managed to interpret these three laws and so work out what is now known as Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, from which Kepler's  laws can straightforwardly be derived.
