	Uraniborg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nearby was Tycho's subterranean Stjerneborg observatory which he built when he found Uraniborg not stable enough for his precision instruments.
		On losing support from the king Christian IV of Denmark Tycho abandoned Ven in 1597 and both Uraniborg and Stjerneborg were destroyed shortly after Tycho's death.
		Stjerneborg was the subject of archeological excavations during the 1950s, the result of which was restoration of the observatory.

	Tycho Brahe - Wikipedia
		In realtà questo effetto di parallasse esiste; non poteva essere osservato ad occhio nudo né con i telescopi dei duecento anni a seguire, perché anche le stelle più vicine sono molto più lontane di quanto gli astronomi dell'epoca ritenessero possibile.
		Il Re Federico II di Danimarca e Norvegia, impressionato dalle osservazioni di Brahe del 1572, finanziò la costruzione di due osservatori a Ven: Uraniborg e Stjerneborg.
		A causa di disaccordi con il nuovo Re Cristiano IV di Danimarca, si spostò a Praga nel 1599.

	The Inclusional Harmonies of the World
		Johannes carefully adjusted the relative positioning of the ecliptic and celestial equator on the giant brass armillary to give the current approximate sky-coordinates of Mars, writing them neatly into his journal though his mind was elsewhere.
		Once installed in the largest of Stjerneborg’s subterranean observing amphitheaters with its openable dome, he flipped through his journal till he came to the last entry he had made in the long list of coordinate entries for Mars.
		Johannes noticed that Magdalene's subtle beckoning for him to come and join her had ceased and he now heard, in low whispers, the deep resonant voice of Søren, Tycho's stable boy, a simple but strikingly handsome youth who himself had the strength of horses.

		The astronomer used it as a base for building a majestic palace called Uraniborg, which provided an incredibly luxurious setting for apartments decorated with paintings and statues, and all the conveniences required for his position as the kingdom's official astronomer.
		A second building, Stjerneborg, known as the castle of the stars, was built in the grounds of the palace and housed the workshops for creating his instruments, storage rooms and printing works for publishing the completed works.
		Tycho even set up an alchemical laboratory, which according to the ideas at the time, was intended to link the study of the stars with the study of the metals under their influence.

		Through the way he identified himself with Tycho and through the instruments he chose for his observatory, he was able to benefit from Tycho's reputation, but this was an ambiguous legacy almost a century after the observations made at Uraniborg.
		Hevelius's rooftop observatory in the city of Danzig was named 'Sternenburg' after Tycho's 'Stjerneborg'.
		The instruments at Sternenburg were designed in the manner of those on Hven and were constructed under the close super vision of the astronomer, as Tycho's had been.

		He named this Stjerneborg, or Stellaburgi in latin, castle of the stars.

	Tycho Brahe (1546-1601)
		Consequently, Tycho turned to professional astronomy and with the help of Danish King Frederick II, established his observatories "Uranienburg" (1580) and "Sternenburg" (or Stjerneborg, 1584) on the island Hven, where he performed astrometric measures which were the best in pre-telescopic times.
		Results were the discovery that comets are situated in space beyond the Moon, of Lunar variation and acurate planetary pathes in the sky.
		Tycho's observing place, Stjerneborg on the island Hven, now Swedish territory, has been reconstructed and can be visited as the Tycho Brahe Museum, see e.g.

	HISTORY
		To prevent him from moving abroad, the king Frederik II, gave him the island of Ven in Øresund, from where he observed the stars for 21 years.
		On Ven, Tycho constructed a small castle, Uraniborg (the castle of Urania), which had instruments under the roof, as well as an observatory called Stjerneborg (the castle of the Stars).
		The original idea was that there should be an observatory just like Stjerneborg at the top, which is why the diameter of the Roundtower and the size of Stjerneborg are exactly the same.

		Rather Tycho ruled his island as a fiefdom and the apt title of a recent biography is The Lord of Uraniborg - the name he gave to the 'Heavenly Castle' he built on Hven.
		Here and in a second observatory building, Stjerneborg or 'Starry Castle', Tycho erected a remarkable range of instruments for astronomical measurement, from armillary spheres after the manner of Ptolemy to large quadrants of bold and original design.
		His instruments were built in his own workshops and his books printed on his own presses.

		It was from his home observatory at Herrevad that he observed the well known nova of 1572, which challenged the Aristotelian doctrine of the immutability of the celestial world.
		Later he found lavish favour with King Frederick II of Denmark, who went all out to help him set up an extravagant state-of-the-art observatory at Uraniborg and the subterranean observatory of Stjerneborg on the island of Hven.
		However, Tycho fell badly out of grace with King Christian IV - Frederick's successor - and was forced to leave Denmark in disgrace in 1597.

		The convenience of being able to carry out all necessary work on his own premises induced him moreover to establish workshops, where nearly all his instruments were made, and afterwards also a printing press and paper mill.
		Both at Uraniborg and Stjerneborg not only the rooms, but even the instruments which were gradually constructed, were elaborately painted or other ornamented."
		One of Tycho Brahe's most important contributions to science was his understanding that observations must not only be accurate but NUMEROUS: taken often enough to preserve an almost continuous record of the positions and motions of the phenomena being studied.

		Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe is chiefly remembered for his meticulous observations, made with instruments of his own design before the advent of the telescope.
		His early observations were carried out on the island of Hven (now Swedish) where he built a pair of observatories, Uraniborg and later Stjerneborg.
		In 1572 he observed a supernova and in 1577 a comet.

		From his observations Tycho was able to show that the comet was certainly further away than Venus.
		In 1584, with the observatory of Uraniborg now too small to house all his instruments, Tycho built a second one named Stjerneborg adjacent to Uraniborg.
		This was the time when Tycho was most active in producing major new instruments.
