Curriculum vitae of Tycho Brahe Erling Poulsen printerfriendly version His autobiography Year Date Information december 14 Tycho is born in Knutstorp in Scania at 10.47 as the first-born son of Otte Brahe and Beate Bille. He has a twin but he is stillborn. The Brahe and Bille families are two of the most influential noble families in Denmark. Tycho is "kidnapped" by his uncle Jørgen from Tosterup, while Beate is giving birth to her next baby, Steen. The kidnapping is probably an agreement made between his father and uncle;, since Jørgen and his wife, Inger Oxe, could not have children. The present castle Knutstorp is completed; this suggests the possibility that Tycho's birthplace may have been in a small house nearby where the family lived during the construction of the manorhouse.

The data Brahe accumulated was superior to all other astronomical measurements made until the invention of the telescope in the early 17th century. Brahe was born in Knudstrup in southern Sweden (then part of Denmark). He studied law and philosophy at the universities of Copenhagen and Leipzig; at night, however, Brahe busied himself with observing the stars. With no instruments other than a globe and a pair of compasses, he succeeded in detecting grave errors in the standard astronomical tables, and set about correcting them. In 1572 he discovered a supernova in the constellation Cassiopeia . After Brahe had spent some time traveling and lecturing, Frederick II, king of Denmark and Norway, offered to provide Brahe with funds to construct and equip an astronomical observatory on the island of Hven (now Ven). Brahe accepted the proposal, and in 1576 construction began on the castle of Uranienborg (“fortress of the heavens”), where for 20 years the astronomer pursued his observations.

The most prominent astronomer of the late 16th cent., he paved the way for future discoveries by improving instruments and by his precision in fixing the positions of planets and stars. From Brahe's exact observations of the planets, Kepler devised his laws of planetary motions (see Kepler's laws ). Brahe's achievements included the study of a supernova (first observed in 1572 and now known as Tycho's supernova) in the constellation Cassiopeia and the discoveries of a variation in the inclination of the lunar orbit and of the fourth inequality of the moon's motion. He never fully accepted the Copernican system but made a compromise between it and the Ptolemaic system. In the Tychonic system, the earth was the immobile body around which the sun revolved, and the five planets then known revolved around the sun. Given funds by the Danish king Frederick II, Brahe built on the island of Ven a castle, Uranienborg, and an observatory, Stjarneborg. He was deprived of his revenues by Christian IV in 1596 and left Ven (1597); in 1599 he settled near Prague under the patronage of the German emperor Rudolf II.

Return to The Worlds of David Darling INDEX LATEST NEWS ARCHIVE ... Z entire Web this site Brahe, Tycho (1546-1601) A Danish pre-telescopic astronomer and nobleman whose accurate astronomical observations, especially of Mars, in the last quarter of the sixteenth century, gave the empirical basis for Kepler’s laws of planetary motion ; born Tyge Ottesen, he is always referred to by his Latinized name. While studying law at the University of Leipzig (1562-1565), Tycho secretly carried on his celestial studies. In 1566, he famously lost his nose in a dual with Manderup Parsberg, his third cousin and a fellow student, over who was the better mathematician. Subsequently, he wore a prosthetic nose piece, purportedly made of pure gold, but which, upon examination by Czech scholars following Tycho’s disinterment in 1901, proved to be an alloy of gold, silver, and copper. During his studies in chemistry at Augustburg (1570-1572), Tycho persuaded his maternal uncle to install a laboratory in his castle at Herritzwad. There, on November 11, 1572, Tycho caught sight of the famous “new star” in Cassiopeia (a supernova), which became the subject of his first book, De nova stella , in 1573 (see Tycho's Star ). In the same year, his family relations became strained when he married a peasant girl. He had intended to settle in Basel, but Fredrik II, King of Denmark, bestowed upon him for life the island of Hveen, along with a substantial pension, which enabled Brahe so set up his famous observatory of Uraniborg.

Most of the time, he was brought up by his father's brother, who inscribed him at the University of Copenhagen when he was 13 years old, so that he could study and rhetoric and philosophy. A remarkable sun eclipse, which took place on the 21st of August 1560 made Tycho Brahe aware of the stars, and he began to study astronomical literature, for example Ptolemy. The journey to Germany In 1564 he was sent to Leipzig to study law, and Anders Vedel should accompany him as his private teacher. Yet Tycho Brahe had difficulty with his law studies and gave it up. In Leipzig, however, Brahe discovered that the existing planetary tableaux, the so-called Alphonsine and Prutenian tableaux, were not quite in correspondence with the actual positions of the stars in the sky, so he decided to renew these measurements as to contribute with a new basis for astronomy by systematic and meticulous observations. So in Leipzig, he did finish his first self-made astronomical instrument, the so-called Jacob Stave. Brahe discovers a Supernova Tycho Brahe came to Wittenberg near Rostock Germany, where he had a vehement argument with another Dane about some new mathematical formulae (parables), which mouthed into a swords duel between the two, where Tycho Brahe had his nose cut of and had to cover the missing 'item' with a copper alloy. He continued his journey to Basel Switzerland and Augsburg Germany. During this journey, he created connections with colleagues within astronomy and chemistry. By returning to Denmark in 1570 he did occupy himself with chemistry, until the his discovery of a new star, a

Brahe, Tycho Danish astronomer whose accurate observations of the planets enabled German astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler to prove that planets orbit the Sun in ellipses. Brahe's discovery and report of the 1572 supernova brought him recognition, and his observations of the comet of 1577 proved that it moved in an orbit among the planets, thus disproving the Greek view that comets were in the Earth's atmosphere. Brahe was a colourful figure who wore a silver nose after his own was cut off in a duel, and who took an interest in alchemy. In 1576 Frederick II of Denmark gave him the island of Hven, where he set up an observatory. Brahe was the greatest observer in the days before telescopes, making the most accurate measurements of the positions of stars and planets. He moved to Prague as imperial mathematician in 1599, where he was joined by Kepler, who inherited his observations when he died. Observing the 1577 comet, he came to the conclusion that its orbit must be elongated, which conflicted with the belief in planetary spheres. Brahe, the last great astronomer to reject the heliocentric theory of Copernicus, tried to compromise, suggesting that, with the exception of the Earth, all the planets revolved around the Sun.

The painting in the late 1990's was in too poor a condition for display, but with the assistance of a grant from the South Eastern Museums Service, the painting was restored, and its return in 1997 was the occasion for a modest special exhibition.

Født på Knuthstorp, Skåne, som dengang var dansk. Tycho Brahe var søn af en dansk adelsmand. Han blev sat til at læse jura, men var meget mere interesseret i astronomi . Under sine juridiske studier brugte han i smug megen tid på astronomien. Brahe observerede supernovaen 1572 meget indgående og udsendte året efter en lille bog De nova stella om sine iagttagelser. Denne bog gjorde ham kendt over hele Europa. I bogen påviste han, at den nye stjerne var længere væk end Månen. Dette var betydningsfuldt, fordi han derved kunne påvise det forkerte i den aristoteliske tanke om, at alt uden for Månens bane var evigt og uforanderligt. Hermed led det geocentriske verdenssystem et alvorligt knæk. De nova stella var medvirkende til, at Frederik II (1534-1588, konge 1559-1588) gav ham
