Periodic table
Russian chemistry professor Dmitri Mendeleev and German chemist Julius Lothar Meyer independently published their periodic tables in 1869 and 1870, respectively. Mendeleev's table was his first published version; that of Meyer was an expanded version of his (Meyer's) table of 1864. They both constructed their tables by listing the elements in rows or columns in order of atomic weight and starting a new row or column when the characteristics of the elements began to repeat.
Rudolphine Tables
In 1551, following the publication of "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" by Nicholas Copernicus, Erasmus Reinhold produced the "Prutenic Tables" based on a heliocentric model of the Solar System, but these were no more accurate than the earlier tables.
