    Extractions: Danish astronomer whose accurate astronomical observations formed the basis for Johannes Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Brahe, Tycho Brahe, Tycho (1546-1601), Danish astronomer, born in Knudstrup in southern Sweden (then part of Denmark). He made precise, comprehensive astronomical measurements of the solar system and more than 700 stars. Brahe, with only a globe and a pair of compasses, succeeded in detecting grave errors in the standard astronomical tables. In 1572 he discovered a supernova in the constellation Cassiopeia. Brahe found patrons in Frederick II, king of Denmark and Norway, and in Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II. Brahe never fully accepted the Copernican system of the universe and sought a compromise by combining it with the old Ptolemaic system. In Brahe's system, the five known planets were supposed to revolve around the sun , which, with the planets, circled the earth each year. Although Brahe's theory of planetary motion was flawed, Johannes Kepler, Brahe's assistant, used Brahe's data in formulating laws of planetary motion.

    Extractions: As we have noted, modern astronomy is built on the interplay between quantitative observations and testable theories that attempt to account for those observations in a logical and mathematical way. A crucial ingredient in the Copernican revolution was the acquisition of more precise data on the motions of objects on the celestial sphere. A Danish nobleman, Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), made important contributions by devising the most precise instruments available before the invention of the telescope for observing the heavens. Brahe made his observations from Uraniborg , on an island in the sound between Denmark and Sweden called Hveen. The instruments of Brahe allowed him to determine more precisely than had been possible the detailed motions of the planets. In particular, Brahe compiled extensive data on the planet Mars, which would later prove crucial to Kepler in his formulation of the laws of planetary motion because it would be sufficiently precise to demonstrate that the orbit of Mars was not a circle but an ellipse. Brahe was by all accounts an extremely colorful character. He allegedly challenged a fellow student to a duel with swords in a dispute over who was the better mathematician. Brahe's nose was partially cut off, and he was said to wear a

    Extractions: Tycho Brahe was born in 1546, and started his studies at the University of Copenhagen at the age of twelve. In 1560 Tycho Brahe probably witnessed a partial solar eclipse, and from that time he began his studies of astronomy. He discovered large discrepancies between his own observations of the positions of the planets and the positions noted by astronomers before him. Between 1566 and 1570 he travelled and studied astronomy in Rostock, Wittenberg, Basel and Augsburg. During this period he constructed his first instruments (in 1564 a radius of wood and in 1569 the Great Quadrant at Augsburg). On November 11th, 1572 Tycho discovered a new bright star in Cassiopeia. Tycho published his observations on the star in a book, 'De Nova Stella'. This was what is known as a supernova today. King Frederik II offered Tycho Brahe generous financial support (more than 1% of Denmark's income) and the island of Hven as a fiefdom. In August 1576 he began building a combined manor and observatory at Uranienborg on Hven. When Frederik II died in 1596, Tycho Brahe lost most of his financial privileges. However he retained Hven as a fiefdom, despite criticism of his treatment of the peasants.

This work, a consequence of the new star of 1572, established the observational and theoretical techniques which initiated the era of modern scientific astronomy. The number and accuracy of Brahe's observations provided the evidence for verifying the heliocentric theory and for Kepler's deduction of his three laws of planetary motion. '[The new star] roused to unwearied exertions a great astronomer, it caused him to renew astronomy in all its branches by showing the world how little it knew about the heavens. His work became the foundation on which Kepler and Newton built their glorious edifices, and the star of Cassiopeia started astronomical science on the brilliant career which it has pursued ever since, and swept away the mist that obscured the true system of the world' (J.L.E. Dreyer, Tycho Brahe, 1890, pp. 162-63 and 196).

Printed on paper made at Tycho's own mill on Hven (where the standard of production was never high), this work contains correspondence between Brahe and the Landgrave Wilhelm IV of Hesse and his astronomer Christopher Rothmann, mostly concerning astronomical observations and the construction of astronomical instruments. 'This correspondence covered all aspects of contemporary astronomy: instruments and methods of observing, the Copernican system (which Rothmann supported against Tycho's system), comets, and auroras' (DSB under Rothmann). Brahe's description of Uraniborg contained here is one of the first such descriptions of an astronomical observatory and its instruments.

A portrait of Tycho Brahe, from the title page of his Mechanica Large image (287K). Very large image (1.1M). Tycho Brahe is probably the most famous observational astronomer of the sixteenth-century, although is not always clear whether he is better remembered for the fact that his data provided the basis for the work of Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), or because of the more colourful aspects of his life and death. Born into the high nobility of his native Denmark in 1546, he was groomed by his family for a career at court, but from an early age showed greater interest in astronomy than law, the discipline of choice for aspiring royal councillors and administrators. After three years at the University of Copenhagen, he spent much of the period from 1562 to 1576 travelling in Germany, studying at the Universities of Leipzig, Wittenberg, and Rostock, and working with other scholars in Basle, Augsburg, and Kassel. It was in Rostock in 1566 that he lost part of his nose in a duel, and subsequently wore a prosthesis. The appearance in 1572 of a "new star" (in fact a supernova) prompted Tycho's

Very large image (1.2M). Tycho Brahe's reputation as the pre-eminent observational astronomer of the sixteenth-century derives from his construction and use of a range of astronomical instruments of large size and remarkable accuracy. Tycho's own descriptions of these objects are to be found scattered throughout his publications and correspondence, but the most detailed accounts are to be found in the Astronomiae instauratae mechanica (1598). This work reveals that Tycho developed and utilised four types of observing armillary Initially Tycho designed a zodiacal armillary sphere, which could be used to obtain the ecliptic co-ordinates of celestial bodies (celestial longitude and latitude) directly, without any calculation. (His other observing instruments gave positions in horizontal co-ordinates). Tycho described the instrument as an improvement on the armillary spheres of Hipparchus and Ptolemy , because it utilised only four rings, rather than five or six. But he found that the accuracy of the instrument was compromised by distortions in the rings. One zodiacal armillary was remounted in equatorial form (see below) by 1581; however a passage in the
