14 December - Tycho Brahe birth anniversary

 


Tycho Brahe was born on 14 December 1546, in Knutstorp, Scania (now in Sweden), and he passed away on 24 October 1601, in Prague, Bohemia (now in the Czech Republic). A Danish nobleman and astronomer, Tycho Brahe made significant contributions to astronomy through his precise observations of celestial bodies and the development of the Tychonic system, a hybrid model of the solar system. His work laid the foundation for later advancements in astronomy, and his collaboration with Johannes Kepler played a crucial role in the development of Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Tycho Brahe's legacy endures as a pioneering figure in the history of observational astronomy.
