Excerpt: Tycho Brahe (14 December 1546 24 October 1601), born Tyge Ottesen Brahe (de Knudstrup), was a Danish nobleman known for his accurate and comprehensive astronomical and planetary observations. Coming from Scania, then part of Denmark, now part of modern-day Sweden, Tycho was well known in his lifetime as an astronomer and alchemist. His Danish name "Tyge Ottesen Brahe" is pronounced in Modern Standard Danish as . He adopted the Latinized name "Tycho Brahe" (usually pronounced or in English) from Tycho (sometimes written Tÿcho) at around age fifteen, and he is now generally referred to as "Tycho", as was common in Scandinavia in his time, rather than by his surname "Brahe". (The incorrect form of his name, Tycho de Brahe, appeared only much later.) 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. After disagreements with the new king in 1597, he was invited by the Bohemian king and Holy Roman emperor Rudolph II to Prague, where he became the official imperial astronomer. He built the new observatory at Benátky nad Jizerou. Here, from 1600 until his death in 1601, he was assisted by Johannes Kepler. Kepler later used Tycho's astronomical information to develop his own theories of astronomy. 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...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=30027 ...

Excerpt: Galileo Galilei (Italian pronunciation: ; 15 February 1564 8 January 1642) was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, and flautist who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism. Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy," the "father of modern physics," the "father of science," and "the Father of Modern Science." Stephen Hawking says, "Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science." The motion of uniformly accelerated objects, taught in nearly all high school and introductory college physics courses, was studied by Galileo as the subject of kinematics. His contributions to observational astronomy include the telescopic confirmation of the phases of Venus, the discovery of the four largest satellites of Jupiter (named the Galilean moons in his honour), and the observation and analysis of sunspots. Galileo also worked in applied science and technology, inventing an improved military compass and other instruments. Galileo's championing of Copernicanism was controversial within his lifetime, when a large majority of philosophers and astronomers still subscribed (at least outwardly) to the geocentric view that the Earth is at the centre of the universe. After 1610, when he began publicly supporting the heliocentric view, which plac...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=11945 ... Read more

Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Tycho Brahe, Heinrich Rantzau. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Tycho Brahe (Tyge Ottesen Brahe), dit Le noble Danois ou L'homme au nez d'or (14 décembre 1546 - 24 octobre 1601), est un astronome danois originaire de Skaneland région historique du Danemark qui fait maintenant partie de la Suède. Il est connu pour avoir établi un catalogue d'étoiles précis pour son époque, ainsi que pour avoir produit un modèle d'univers cherchant à combiner le système géocentrique de Ptolémée et héliocentrique de Nicolas Copernic. Tycho Brahe a pu mener ses travaux en astronomie grâce à l'octroi d'un domaine sur l'île de Ven où il fit construire un observatoire astronomique qu'il appela Uraniborg et une pension annuelle accordés par le roi Frédéric de Danemark. De 1600 jusqu'à sa mort survenue en 1601, il fut assisté par Johannes Kepler, qui allait plus tard utiliser ses données astronomiques pour développer ses propres théories sur l'astronomie et formuler les trois lois du mouvement des planètes dites lois de Kepler. Tycho Brahe est né à au château de Knudstrup, en Scanie (Scania ou Skåne), une province alors danoise aujourd'hui suédoise. Il était l'aîné des garçons d'Otto Brahe et Beatte Bille, tous deux issus de la haute noblesse danoise. La famille était d'origine suédoise, mais son grand-père ainsi que son père appartenait à une branche familiale qui s'était fixée au Danemark. Son frère jumeau est mort avant d'être baptisé. Tycho Brahe avait aussi deux sœurs, dont l'aînée s'appelait Kristine et la plus jeune Sophia qui deviendra plus tard astronome et chimiste. Son père, Otto Brahe, était un noble et une figure importante de la cour du roi du Danemark. Sa mère était issue d'une importante famille dont la pa...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
