Also, thanks for the great trivia - I hadn't known that.

BTW--The story about how Kepler came up with his laws of planetary motion (as told by Carl Sagan in one of the old episodes of Cosmos) is one of my all-time favorites. And, as I learned not long ago, Weil der Stadt, the German town of Kepler's birth, was spared bombing by allied bombers during WW II simply because it was Kepler's birthplace. Just some interesting trivia.... So this is based on a diagram of Kepler’s laws?
