Extractions: This file as .pdf-file Year Date Information Dec. 14 Tycho is born at Knutstorp in Scania in the morning (10.47) as the first-born son of Otte Brahe and Beate Bille, he had a twin but he was stillborn. The families Brahe and Bille are two of Denmark's most influential noble families. The present castle Knutstorp was completed; this suggests the possibility that Tycho's birthplace may have been a nearby small house where the family lived during construction of the manorhouse. April 19 Tycho is sent to the University of Copenhagen (Rhetoric and Philosophy). Aug. 21 Around 13:00 (CET) a partial solar eclipse occurs which, depending on the weather, would have been visible in Copenhagen; whether Tycho saw it we do not know, for he never mentions it in his writings. Tycho purchases his first astronomy book, today it is housed in the Kronborg Library. Feb. 14

Most of the time, he was brought up by his father's brother, who inscribed him at the University of Copenhagen when he was 13 years old, so that he could study and rhetoric and philosophy. A remarkable sun eclipse, which took place on the 21st of August 1560 made Tycho Brahe aware of the stars, and he began to study astronomical literature, for example Ptolemy. In 1564 he was sent to Leipzig to study law, and Anders Vedel should accompany him as his private teacher. Yet Tycho Brahe had difficulty with his law studies and gave it up. In Leipzig, however, Brahe discovered that the existing planetary tableaux, the so-called Alphonsine and Prutenian tableaux, were not quite in correspondence with the actual positions of the stars in the sky, so he decided to renew these measurements as to contribute with a new basis for astronomy by systematic and meticulous observations. So in Leipzig, he did finish his first self-made astronomical instrument, the so-called Jacob Stave. Tycho Brahe came to Wittenberg near Rostock Germany, where he had a vehement argument with another Dane about some new mathematical formulae (parables), which mouthed into a swords duel between the two, where Tycho Brahe had his nose cut of and had to cover the missing 'item' with a copper alloy. He continued his journey to Basel Switzerland and Augsburg Germany. During this journey, he created connections with colleagues within astronomy and chemistry. By returning to Denmark in 1570 he did occupy himself with chemistry, until the his discovery of a new star, a

Extractions: As we have noted, modern astronomy is built on the interplay between quantitative observations and testable theories that attempt to account for those observations in a logical and mathematical way. A crucial ingredient in the Copernican revolution was the acquisition of more precise data on the motions of objects on the celestial sphere. A Danish nobleman, Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), made important contributions by devising the most precise instruments available before the invention of the telescope for observing the heavens. Brahe made his observations from Uraniborg , on an island in the sound between Denmark and Sweden called Hveen. The instruments of Brahe allowed him to determine more precisely than had been possible the detailed motions of the planets. 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 was by all accounts an extremely colorful character. He allegedly challenged a fellow student to a duel with swords in a dispute over who was the better mathematician. Brahe's nose was partially cut off, and he was said to wear a

Extractions: Michael Fowler, UVa Physics Galileo and Einstein Home Page Link to Previous Lecture 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. However, he had an uncle Joergen, a country squire and vice-admiral, who was more educated, and childless. Tycho's father had agreed with the uncle before Tycho was born that if Tycho was a boy, the uncle could adopt and raise him. He changed his mind and reneged. Then, when a younger brother was born, the uncle kidnapped Tycho. The father threatened to murder the uncle, but eventually calmed down, since Tycho stood to inherit a large estate from the uncle. When Tycho was seven, his uncle insisted that he begin studying Latin. His parents objected, but the uncle said this would help Tycho become a lawyer. At age thirteen, Tycho entered the University of Copenhagen to study law and philosophy. At this impressionable age, an event took place that changed his life. There was a partial eclipse of the sun. This had been predicted, and took place on schedule. It struck Tycho as "something divine that men should know the motions of the stars so accurately that they were able a long time beforehand to predict their places and relative positions". Perhaps this predictability was especially appealing to one whose personal life was evolving in rather an uncertain way. One of the advantages of being a rich kid was that he could immediately go out and buy a copy of Ptolemy's

Extractions: Danish name: Tyge Brahe. Danish astronomer who set out to make accurate observations in order to be able to determine whether the Ptolemaic or Copernican system was the more correct. He was sponsored by King Frederick II of Denmark (not to be confused with the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II , who lived from 1194-1250), who built him a castle on the island of Hveen (now Ven) between Denmark and Sweden called Uraniborg. This was the first real astronomical observatory, although alchemical researches were pursued in the basement. From Hveen, Brahe used a quadrant circle to sight the planets and stars. His large, accurate instruments yielded measurements which were accurate to within four minutes of arc. He compiled an extensive table of planetary positions and a star catalogue and made the most accurate naked eye astronomical measurements of his day. Brahe observed the Comet of 1577 and, by parallax measurements, determined that it was farther away than the moon and not an atmospheric phenomenon as Aristotle had claimed. This shattered Aristotle's notion of crystalline spheres, since the comet would have to travel through the spheres in its path through the heavens. He also observed the

Extractions: Kundstrup 1546 - 1601 Brahe studied at Copenhagen, Wittenberg, and Basel. His most important studies were concerning the supernova of 1572, and argued that it was at a great distance from the earth because of the absence of a parallax. His observations of the comet of 1577 enabled him to destroy the hypothesis of solid celestial spheres. With the aid of the King of Denmark he established an observatory on the island of Hveen, with splendid instruments of his own design. Brahe was a remarkable observer of the heavens. In 1598 he was called to Prague by the emperor Rudolph II and shortly thereafter Kepler became his assistant. Tycho invented a system in which the earth is stationary while the planets revolve around the sun which, in turn, revolves around the earth. Brahe's accurate observations of the planet Mars enabled Kepler to determine the fundamental laws of planetary motion between 1609 and 1619. Brahe was the teacher and friend of the constructor of globes, J. W. Blaeu, who decorated one of his globes with a portrait of the scientist. Next Previous Index Home Page Catalogue ... Italiano

Dopo aver compiuto studi di diritto e filosofia alle università di Copenaghen e Lipsia, si dedicò all'astronomia ed effettuò osservazioni astronomiche estremamente accurate del sistema solare e di molte stelle Nel 1572 scoprì una supernova nella costellazione di Cassiopea; in seguito, il re di Danimarca e Norvegia Federico II mise a sua disposizione i mezzi finanziari per costruire un osservatorio astronomico sull'isola di Ven. Accettata la proposta, nel 1576 Brahe iniziò la costruzione del castello di Uranienborg ("fortezza dei cieli"), dove proseguì le sue osservazioni fino al 1588, anno in cui il nuovo re Cristiano IV ritirò tutti i benefici concessi all'astronomo dal suo predecessore. Nel 1597, Brahe si trasferì ad Amburgo e poi a Praga dove ricevette, dall'imperatore Rodolfo II, i fondi per realizzare un nuovo osservatorio; la morte gli impedì tuttavia di completarne la costruzione. Brahe non accettò mai completamente il sistema copernicano e avanzò una nuova teoria geostatica secondo la quale i cinque pianeti allora conosciuti ruotavano intorno al Sole che, insieme alla Luna, girava ogni anno intorno alla Terra, fissa al centro dell'Universo. La teoria di Brahe sul movimento dei pianeti non venne mai considerata valida; tuttavia i dati che raccolse durante le sue osservazioni furono utilizzati da

Extractions: Brahe, Tycho (15461601) Brahe was an astronomer who also studied alchemy and astrology. He estabished an observatory on an island near Copenhagen with support from the King of Denmark. Brahe carefully made and recorded over 20 years of accurate astronomical observations. Following his observatory work, he became the Imperial Mathematician in Prague. His assistant was Kepler . Brahe believed his data would prove his belief that the earth was the center of the universe. Later, Kepler used the data to deduce his planetary laws and prove the sun was the center of the universe.

Extractions: Tycho Brahe was born in 1546, and started his studies at the University of Copenhagen at the age of twelve. In 1560 Tycho Brahe probably witnessed a partial solar eclipse, and from that time he began his studies of astronomy. He discovered large discrepancies between his own observations of the positions of the planets and the positions noted by astronomers before him. Between 1566 and 1570 he travelled and studied astronomy in Rostock, Wittenberg, Basel and Augsburg. During this period he constructed his first instruments (in 1564 a radius of wood and in 1569 the Great Quadrant at Augsburg). On November 11th, 1572 Tycho discovered a new bright star in Cassiopeia. Tycho published his observations on the star in a book, 'De Nova Stella'. This was what is known as a supernova today. King Frederik II offered Tycho Brahe generous financial support (more than 1% of Denmark's income) and the island of Hven as a fiefdom. In August 1576 he began building a combined manor and observatory at Uranienborg on Hven. When Frederik II died in 1596, Tycho Brahe lost most of his financial privileges. However he retained Hven as a fiefdom, despite criticism of his treatment of the peasants.

Extractions: Biografía de Brahe, Tycho Brahe, Tycho (1546-1601), astrónomo danés que realizó numerosas y precisas mediciones astronómicas del Sistema Solar y de más de 700 estrellas. Brahe acumuló más datos que los que se obtuvieron en todas las demás mediciones astronómicas realizadas hasta la invención del telescopio, a principios del siglo XVII. Nació en Knudstrup, al sur de Suecia (entonces parte de Dinamarca). Estudió leyes y filosofía en las universidades de Copenhague y Leipzig, en Alemania; durante las noches, Brahe se dedicaba a la observación de las estrellas. Sin instrumentos, excepto una esfera y un compás, consiguió detectar graves errores en las tablas astronómicas de la época y se dispuso a corregirlos. En 1572 descubrió una supernova en la constelación de Casiopea. Después de dedicar algún tiempo a viajar y a leer, el rey de Dinamarca y Noruega Federico II, le ofreció apoyo financiero para construir y equipar un observatorio astronómico en la isla de Hven (hoy Ven). Brahe aceptó su oferta y en 1576 comenzó la construcción del castillo de Uraniborg, donde el astrónomo estuvo trabajando durante veinte años. Después de la muerte de Federico II en 1588, su sucesor Cristián IV, le retiró todo el apoyo e incluso tuvo que abandonar el observatorio. En 1597, Brahe aceptó una invitación para ir a Bohemia del emperador Rodolfo II, del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico, quien le ofreció una pensión de 3.000 ducados y un feudo cerca de Praga, donde se iba a construir un nuevo observatorio como el de Uraniborg. Sin embargo, Brahe murió en 1601 antes de que este observatorio se hubiera terminado.
