Newton
Newton's 1st law
A body continues in a state of uniform rest or motion unless acted upon by an external force.

To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Foci
The two points within an ellipse. Their distance apart determines the eccentricity of the ellipse. Singular form is "focus."

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
The law put forward by Isaac Newton in 1687 which states that any two bodies attract each other with a force that depends on the product of their masses divided by the square of the distance between them.
Kepler's Second Law
The Law of Equal Areas
The radius vector joining planet to Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times; describes how the planet must continuously vary its speed as it follows its orbit, moving fastest at perihelion and slowest at aphelion.
Zodiac that depicts twin boys. One mortal and one immortal.
Gemini
Newton's Second Law
The acceleration produced when a force acts is directly proportional to the force and takes place in the direction in which the force acts.
Kepler's Third Law
The Law of the Harmonies
The square of the orbital period of each planet in years is proportional to the cube of the semimajor axis of the planet's orbit; gives the relationship between the planets' average distances from the Sun and their periods of revolution.
