	The Galileo Project \| Science \| Tycho Brahe
		Tycho was also the first astronomer to make corrections for atmospheric refraction.
		Tycho's observations of the new star of 1572 and comet of 1577, and his publications on these phenomena, were instrumental in establishing the fact that these bodies were above the Moon and that therefore the heavens were not immutable as Aristotle had argued and philosophers still believed.
		Tycho gave various reasons for not accepting the heliocentric theory, but it appears that he could not abandon Aristotelian physics which is predicated on an absolute notion of place.

	Tycho Brahe - MSN Encarta
		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.
		In 1597 Brahe accepted an invitation to Bohemia from the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, who gave him a pension of 3000 ducats and an estate near Prague, where a new Uranienborg was to be built.

		Tycho Brahe 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.
		Tycho was the preeminent observational astronomer of the pre-telescopic period, and his observations of stellar and planetary positions achieved unparalleled accuracy for their time.
		Tycho also worked in the area of weather prediction, produced astrological interpretations of the supernova of 1572 and the comet of 1577, and furnished his patrons Frederick II and Rudolph II with nativities and other predictions (thereby strengthening the ties between patron and client by demonstrating value).

	Skyscript: Tycho Brahe - A King Amongst Astronomers, by David Plant by David Plant
		Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) occupies an exalted position in the pantheon of science as the founder of modern observational methods in astronomy.
		Tycho used it to measure the angle between the new object and various fixed stars, and he repeatedly measured the same angles over the whole period of the object's visibility.
		Tycho Brahe is one of the last representatives of an age when astrology and astronomy were one, offering an integrated vision of humanity's place in the Universe.

	Tycho Brahe - CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
		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.

		Tycho Brahe, born in 1546, was the eldest son of a noble Danish family, and as such appeared destined for the natural aristocratic occupations of hunting and warfare.
		Tycho lost his temper in a quarrel with another student over who was the better mathematician, this led to a duel in which part of Tycho's nose was cut off.
		Tycho had just finished building a new sextant, with arms five and a half feet long, a massive bronze hinge, a metallic scale calibrated in minutes (sixtieths of a degree) and a table of corrections for the remaining tiny errors in the instrument he had detected.

	Tycho Brahe Biography \| World of Physics
		Counted among the greatest pre-telescopic astronomers, Tycho Brahe was renowned for his many achievements, including revealing irregularities in the Moon's orbit and developing the wall quadrant and other instruments leading to improved stellar instrumentation.
		Brahe was profoundly impressed that the event was accurately predicted and occurred precisely on schedule.
		Brahe is the first astronomer credited with making measurements that accounted for atmospheric refraction (a phenomenon that changes the direction of light rays as they pass from space into the atmosphere and causes celestial object to appear in a location other than their actual ones).

	Astronomiæ instauratæ mechanica by Tycho Brahe: Introduction
		Tycho believed that if he could construct large stable instruments that were precise, easily readable, and used with painstaking care, he could provide the world with the observations it needed to finally uncover the true nature of the universe
		Tycho decided it was time to see if he could continue his work elsewhere, so he packed up his household and in 1597 left Hven and headed for northern Germany.
		Tycho's work was cut short by his death in 1601, and it was left to his assistants to continue his work.

	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's nose was partially cut off, and he was said to wear a gold and silver replacement upon which he would continually rub oil.
		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 biography
		Tycho had been working on improved instruments for observing for a while, but when in Augsburg he designed some of his own and managed to obtain a patron to underwrite the cost of a major new instrument.
		Tycho closed down his observatory on Hven in 1597 (the last recorded observation is on 15 March that year), and moved to Copenhagen.
		Tycho intended that this work should prove the truth of his cosmological model, in which the Earth (with the Moon in orbit around it) was at rest in the centre of the Universe and the Sun went round the Earth (all other planets being in orbit about the Sun and thus carried round with it).

	Tycho Brahe
		Tycho's reputation as an accomplished astronomer rose quickly, primarily through his observations of and writings on the 1572 Novae in Cassiopea, and of the 1577 comet.
		Tycho demonstrated, perhaps more convincingly than anyone before him, the falsity of the Aristotelian doctrine of the immutability of the Heavens, and of the Aristotelian theory of comets as an atmospheric phenomenon taking place in the sublunar sphere.
		One of Tycho's most impressive astronomical achievement was his discovery of the Moon's so-called annual variation, a variation of the Moon's orbital speed associated with the gravitational pull of the Sun, and which shows an annual periodicity due to the slightly varying distance between the Earth and Sun in the course of the year.

	Lund Observatory: Tycho Brahe
		By careful observations the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe concluded that the object in fact is a "new star", probably, he later thought, the result of an implosion of surrounding nebular materia.
		"Astronomiska Sällskapet Tycho Brahe", a society open for all interested in astronomy, both professionals and amateurs, was founded in 1937 by Knut Lundmark.
		The bronze bust of Tycho shown here was made by V. Bissen for the 300 years anniversary of Tycho's death, originally placed in front of "Lundagårdshuset" in Lund, but was moved in 1904 to the then existing observatory at Svanegatan.

	The Straight Dope: Did astronomer Tycho Brahe really have a silver nose?
		Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), the father (or at least the godfather) of modern astronomy, really did wear an artificial nose, owing to the fact that the real one had been sliced off in a duel.
		To give you a further indication of the type of guy we're dealing with there, Tycho didn't marry the mother of his eight children, employed a dwarf as a jester, kept a pet elk (which died after breaking a leg while going downstairs drunk), dabbled in alchemy, and tyrannized the local peasantry.
		Tycho's tomb was reopened in 1901 and his remains were examined by medical experts.

	Johannes Kepler and Tycho Brahe
		Tycho was amazed that astronomers were able to predict such events in advance.
		It was the latter event that convinced Tycho that he should devote his life to studying the sky, for the published tables that predicted the event were grossly inaccurate, missing the actual conjunction by several days.
		Tycho and his assistants transformed the 5 km (3 mile) long island, Ven (old Danish is Hven), into Europe's center of astronomy.
