> After Newton discovered his famous laws of motion and gravity, he used these to determine the motion of a single planet around the Sun and showed that the planet followed an ellipse with the Sun at one focus.
It was more the other way around. Kepler found out that planets follow an ellipse with the Sun at one focus. He formulated his 3 Kepler laws. Newton, quite a while later generalised these laws into the so called Newton axioms.
Ugh ... besides the fact that your comment adds absolutely nothing to the discussion, it is also stating (incorrectly) a possibility as fact.
There was one (not many) portrait of Hooke at the Royal Academy of Science which at some point was destroyed while Issac Newton was President. It is unknown whether the destruction of the portrait was directed by Newton or if Newton just did not bother protecting it (Hooke had gotten into conflicts with other scientists as well).
Thus, your comment in its entirety is a waste of space. I will be flagging it as it is non-constructive to the discussion of the article.
