Kepler and the Witch
from Science Sideways · host Jennifer Taylor
Johannes Kepler cracked the code of planetary motion but back on Earth, his mother was accused of being a witch. This episode spirals through the weird overlap of astronomy and superstition, where star charts meet spell books and science becomes a survival tool. Was she casting spells, or just living in a world that feared clever women? For GCSE students who like their science with a twist of mystery, and their history with a dash of myth.
