		The data Brahe accumulated was superior to all other astronomical measurements made until the invention of the telescope in the early 17th century.
		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.
		Although Brahe's theory of planetary motion was flawed, the data he accumulated during his life played a crucial role in developing the correct description of planetary motion.

		Tycho Brahe was born in Knudstrup in southern Sweden in 1546.
		Brahe then decided two things: better tables could be made by observations over longer period of time and that he would be the one to make these observations and later construct the tables showing his observations.
		Brahe was known as “the father of the modern art of observation” for his work on several new instruments for astronomy and improving many old ones.

	The Observations of Tycho Brahe
		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.
		Brahe is thought to have died when he contracted a urinary infection while attending a banquet hosted by a baron in Prague in which he drank extensively but felt that etiquette prevented him from leaving the table to relieve himself before the host left.

		Brahe's work inspired his student, Johannes Kepler, to formulate his three laws of planetary motion, which Isaac Newton then built upon in developing his theory of gravity.
		Brahe was born on 14 December 1546 in Knudstrup in Skåne, southern Sweden (then under Danish rule).
		Brahe's Uranienborg observatory was on the small island of Ven (or Hven) in the middle of the sound.

	Galileo, Brahe, and Kepler
		Brahe was a rich nobleman, whose foster father once saved the life of the King of Denmark.
		This caused quite a stir, and to keep Brahe in the country, the King of Denmark granted Brahe his own island, complete with paper mills, printing press, castle, prison, and, of course, an extremely generous endowment (which made him one of the richest men in Denmark).
		Brahe wanted Kepler to prove his own peculiar theory of the cosmos: that the Sun went around the earth, but that the planets went around the Sun.

	Brahe, Tycho. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		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 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.

		Brahe, who lived between 1546 and 1601, set out to solve the day's most pressing astronomical problem: to determine whether the Earth or the Sun was at the center of the Solar System.
		Tycho Brahe thus compiled tables of precise measurements of the positions and brightnesses of planets and stars.
		Brahe never solved the Solar System problem himself - but left data so impressively accurate his assistant Johannes Kepler was able to develop definitive laws.

	Tycho Brahe
		Brahe never fully accepted Copernicus’ sun-centered theory of the universe and tried to combine it with the Ptolemy’s earth-centered system.
		Brahe proposed that the five known planets revolved around the sun, and the sun (with the planets), circled the earth each year.
		Although Brahe's theory was wrong, the measurements and records of his observations played an important role in developing the correct description of how the planets move.

		Brahe completely recalculated Ptolemy’s astronomical tables, which contained many errors, and catalogued over one thousand stars during his lifetime.
		In 1572 Brahe made careful observations of a “new star” (actually a supernova) that appeared suddenly in the constellation Cassiopeia.

		Frederick Rosenkrantz is presented as a third cousin of Tycho Brahe's.

		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.
		From these observatories, Brahe studied together with his pupil (whereof the most famous probably is Longomantanus) a long row of magnificent observations of the positions of the Sun, the Moon, planets and fix-stars.
		Albeit their disagreement, Tycho Brahe rendered all his Life's work to Kepler and recommended him as Court Astronomer, before he died of an open bladder (the Court Etiquette did not make it possible to leave the table, until the diners were officially over).

		In _Coming of Age in the Milky Way_, Timothy Ferris repeats the bladder explosion story, which was postulated at the time of Brahe's death and remained in circulation long enough to be quoted as fact in _Martyrs of Science_ by Sir David Brewster in 1874.
		However, the notion that Brahe up and died right off the bat is something of a mutation - not even Brewster claims that, but Ferris does.
		Also worth noting is that John Allyn Gade in _The Life and Times of Tycho Brahe_ seems to believe that Brahe suffered from a recurring bladder condition which he frequently consulted with physicians about, only to ignore their advice.
