(/ˌtaɪkoʊ ˈbrɑːhi, ˈbrɑː, ˈbrɑːə/)
born tyge ottesen brahe
(Danish: [ˈtˢyːə ˈʌd̥əsn̩ ˈb̥ʁɑː]
.
(‘tycho brahe’ was a ‘danish nobleman’ known for his accurate and comprehensive ‘astronomical’ + ‘planetary’ observations)
.
(the ‘elon musk’ of the late 16th century)
(aka “the 1500s”)
(‘+1’ to the ‘century #’ in the “hundred” spot)
(leftmost in order of 3 numerals)
(“hundreds” / “tens” / “ones”)
(though ‘duodecimalists’ prefer:)
(“144” / “12” / “1”)
(he was born in the then danish peninsula of ‘scania’)
(well known in his lifetime as an ‘astronomer’, ‘astrologer’, and ‘alchemist’, he has been described as “the first competent mind in modern astronomy to feel ardently the passion for exact empirical facts”)
(his observations were some 5 times more accurate than the best available observations at the time)
(an heir to several of denmark’s principal noble families, he received a comprehensive education)
(he took an interest in ‘astronomy’ and in the creation of more accurate instruments of measurement)
(as an astronomer, ‘tycho’ worked to combine what he saw as the geometrical benefits of the ‘copernican system’ with the philosophical benefits of the ‘ptolemaic system’ into his own model of the universe, the ‘tychonic system’)
(his system correctly saw the ‘moon’ as orbiting ‘earth’, and the planets as orbiting the ‘sun’, but erroneously considered the ‘sun’ to be orbiting the ‘earth’)
(furthermore, he was the last of the major ‘naked eye astronomers’, working without ‘telescopes’ for his observations)
(in his de nova stella (“on the new star”) of 1573, he refuted the aristotelian belief in an ‘unchanging celestial realm’)
(his precise measurements indicated that “new stars” (‘stellae novae’, now known as ‘supernovae’), in particular that of 1572, lacked the ‘parallax’ expected in ‘sublunar phenomena’ and were therefore not ‘tailless comets’ in the atmosphere as previously believed but were above the ‘atmosphere’ and beyond the ‘moon’)
(using similar measurements he showed that ‘comets’ were also not ‘atmospheric phenomena’, as previously thought, and must pass through the supposedly immutable ‘celestial spheres’)
(‘king frederick II’ granted ‘tycho’ an estate on the island of ‘hven’ and the funding to build ‘uraniborg’, an early ‘research institute’, where he built large astronomical instruments and took many careful measurements, and later ‘stjerneborg’, underground, when he discovered that his instruments in ‘uraniborg’ were not sufficiently steady)
(on the island (where he behaved autocratically toward the residents) he founded ‘manufactories’, such as a ‘paper mill’, to provide material for printing his results)
(after disagreements with the new danish king, ‘christian IV’, in 1597, he went into exile, and was invited by the bohemian king and ‘holy roman emperor’ ‘rudolph II’ to ‘prague’, where he became the official ‘imperial astronomer’)
(he built an observatory at ‘benátky nad jizerou’)
(there, from 1600 until his death in 1601, he was assisted by ‘johannes kepler’, who later used tycho’s astronomical data to develop his 3 laws of ‘planetary motion’)
(tycho’s body has been exhumed twice, in 1901 and 2010, to examine the circumstances of his ‘death’ and to identify the material from which his ‘artificial nose’ was made)
.
(the conclusion was that his death was likely caused by a ‘burst bladder’, and not by ‘poisoning’ as had been suggested, and that the ‘artificial nose’ was more likely made of ‘brass’ than ‘silver’ or ‘gold’, as some had believed in his time)
