	On Tycho's Island - John Robert Christianson
		Brahe was a leading and influential scientist in his day, and his crowning glory was the establishment of a research facility on the island of Hven.
		He took a woman who was not of his social class (creating great difficulties for him, her, and their children), and he made a number of enemies as well.
		So, for example, Live Larsdatter: "a wise woman who was said to have served Tycho Brahe on Hven or in Copenhagen, but the evidence is very thin." Thin it may be, but apparently still worthy of inclusion.

	Tycho Brahe - Crystalinks
		He was granted an estate on the island of Hven and the funding to build the Uraniborg, an early research institute, where he built large astronomical instruments and took many careful measurements.
		In the years following Galileo's observation of the phases of Venus in 1610, which made the Ptolemaic system intractable, the Tychonic system became the major competitor with Copernicanism, and was adopted by the Catholic Church for many years as its official astronomical conception of the universe.
		King Frederick II of Denmark and Norway, impressed with Tycho's 1572 observations, financed the construction of two observatories for Tycho on the island of Hven in Oresund.

		According to this theory then, Tycho’s wife was the daughter of the parson on Hven, and her maiden name was Kristine Hansdatter.

	Astronomiæ instauratæ mechanica by Tycho Brahe: Introduction
		He was aided by a number of assistants who were necessary for observing with the large instruments, and the more mathematically skilled ones would work on the mathematical analysis of the collected data.
		While on Hven, Tycho concentrated primarily on obtaining accurate positions of the stars and on observing the Sun, Moon, and planets in order to get the most precise understanding to date of their orbits and motions.
		After two pages of brief descriptions of other instruments, the twenty-second instrument (the great brass globe) is described and followed by a description of Tycho's astronomical accomplishments, some correspondence, another poem, and other miscellaneous material.

	Tycho Brahe Biography
		Granted the island of Hven in 1576 by Frederick II, he established Uraniborg, an observatory containing large, accurate instruments.
		With generous royal support, Tycho constructed there a domicile and observatory which he called Uraniborg, and developed a range of instruments of remarkable size and precision which he used, with the aide of numerous assistants and students, to observe comets, stars, and planets.
		Other works begun on Hven were the Astronomiae instauratae mechanica (1598), an illustrated account of his instruments and observatories, and the Astronomiae instauratae progymnasmata (1602), which contained his theory of lunar and solar motions, part of his catalogue of stars, and a more detailed analysis of the supernova of 1572.

		The king of Denmark supported him and gave him the island of Hven to build an observatory, with the taxes of the island providing him with the funding.
		The telescope had not yet been invented, and all measurements were done by eye, aided by sights (similar to those used on guns) which could be slid around circles, marked in degrees.
		Tycho's manners, however, were arrogant, and the residents of Hven complained about him, so that after the death of the king who was Tycho's patron, Tycho was forced to leave Denmark.

	Brahe
		Although he had treated the inhabitants of Hven badly by modern standards, and also in their eyes, it was usual for a lord at this time to treat his subjects harshly.
		He always thought a lot of himself and perhaps by this stage his view of his own importance (he saw himself as the natural successor to Hipparchus and Ptolemy, a far more important person than a King) had rather turned his head.
		Tycho closed down his observatory on Hven in 1597 (the last recorded observation is on 15 March that year), and moved to Copenhagen.

		This measuring has been vital for astronomy, since Brahe's meticulous construction of instruments and elimination of errors herein, gave these instruments a precision, which was quite unheard of at the time.
		In his time (1546-1601) the old and new paradigms fought one against the other; he could not entirely accept the new paradigm, but he contributed to the new one by his reliable measurings.
		On the island Hven, he established his observatories received visits by many a learned person from Europe.

		On May 23 1576, by royal decree the Danish King Frederick II granted Tycho the island of Hven, east of Copenhagen (now part of Sweden, but a Danish possession at the time), as well as an annual stipend to further Tycho's astronomical researches.
		Throughout his career, and in particular at Uraniborg, Tycho proceeded to build astronomical measuring instruments of unprecedented accuracy, not to mention physical size.
		He also established his own printing press on Hven, and build a second underground observatory with isolated observing stations to ensure reliably independent multiple astronomical measurements.

		King Frederick II of Denmark supported the institution financially because of the international prestige it garnered and the increased educational opportunities it made available to his subjects.
		Christianson shows how a summer on Hven became an expected capstone of a European college education, and students arrived in groups of 5-10, rather like an early REU (research experience for undergraduates) program.
		As a nonspecialist reader, I longed for a handy map of Denmark with places like Skåne, Ribe, and Stjernholm marked, and also for a large map of northern Europe, so that I could better picture the travels of Brahe's wagon entourage from Rostock to Wandsburg to Prague, after his self-exile from Denmark.
