Kepler was born on 27 December 1571 in the small town of Weil der Stadt in what is now the German state of Baden-Württemberg. He became a proponent of the Copernican system of planetary motion in the early 1590s, and in 1596 he publisheda detailed public defence of the theory, but it was a position that was still frowned upon.
