I proved planets move in ellipses and half of Europe acted like I’d insulted the circle personally. by Johannes Kepler

You keep saying “proved” like I didn’t spend years collecting the sky’s best receipts.

Both of you are arguing over geometry while I’m getting in trouble for looking up too hard.

Tycho had the data, Galileo had the telescope, and I had the audacity to be right.

And I spent years making them readable, which was apparently more shocking.

Look, not everyone can have a nose that keeps the whole court entertained.
