Celestial mechanics planetary positions, using geometrical or arithmetical techniques, and contemporary discussions of the physical causes of the planets' motion. Johannes Kepler (1571–1630) was the first to closely integrate the predictive geometrical astronomy, which had been dominant from Ptolemy in the 2nd century to Copernicus, with physical concepts to produce a "New Astronomy, Based upon Causes, or Celestial Physics" in 1609. His work led to the modern laws of planetary orbits, which he developed using his physical principles and the planetary observations made by Tycho Brahe. Kepler's model greatly improved the accuracy of predictions of planetary motion, years before Isaac Newton developed
Capture of Portobello (1601) then returned to Plymouth in May 1601 where he distributed his prize money and in September of that year became Mayor. He would then became a founding member of the Virginia Company in 1606. Capture of Portobello (1601) The Capture of Portobello was a military event during the Anglo–Spanish War in which an English expedition under the command of William Parker assaulted and took Portobello from the Spanish, acquired some booty and then sacked the place. The war with Spain was continuing and English privateers were still roaming the Spanish American empire for prizes and attacking ports. In November 1600
