Chapter 1 in The Universe of Conics, 2016, pp 1-10 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Our Universe is full of conics, even if we cannot always see them – like the orbits of the planets. It needed very accurate observations to detect (JOHANNES KEPLER), and a great physicist (ISAAC NEWTON) to prove that.
