Johannes Kepler lived a remarkable life during equally remarkable times. On this special Third-Anniversary episode of Good Heavens, Wayne and Dan talk about Kepler‘s accomplishments and his character.  He lived during the Catholic Counter Reformation in a time when there was much superstition.  In spite of great hardship and personal loss Kepler influenced people away from superstition and made revolutionary discoveries about the planets.  Kepler's Mother was accused of witchcraft in a time when many women were being wrongly executed for witchcraft.  But Kepler did a legal defense of his Mother and eventually she was freed.  He demonstrated remarkable character and faith in difficult times.
