From Hipparchos to Tycho Brahe, over almost two thousand years, observation instruments remained practically unchanged - the mural quadrant, the triquetrum and the armillary sphere, heavy wooden or even stone devices the size of a man and often fixed like monuments. Glass and metal would revolutionise astronomy, as would the photographic plate and electronics.

TThis prediction was confirmed in 1987 when scientists in the United States and Japan detected prompt neutrinos from SN1987a. This event was the first naked eye supernova to be seen since the 1604 event witnessed by Tycho Brahe.

Describing Libavius s critique of Tycho s laboratory at Uraniborg, Jole Shackelford notes "A key component in Libavius s characterization of Tycho Brahe s contemplative Paracelsian science is his portrayal of Uraniborg as a place of darkness darkness surrounds Tycho as he looks to the heavens from his upper-story observatory, darkness envelops the chemical research conducted in the basement laboratory, and this darkness reaches out to taint the morality of Uraniborg and its inhabitants. The darkness that envelops Tycho s science in Pythagorean secrecy is connected with the dark recesses of the earth, home to the forces of evil."

Although best known as an astronomer, Brahe was also a follower of Paracelsus, and a number of medicines that he concocted found their way into the official Danish pharmacopoeia. For years Tycho also kept a detailed weather diary, convinced that weather patterns held vital secrets. It was not until 1960 that Tycho s hunch was proved right — Edward Lorenz s studies of weather patterns led to the invention of a new science chaos theory. 

Early in 1600, Kepler joined the astronomer Tycho Brahe at his observatory in Prague. Soon thereafter Kepler became consumed with the problem of establishing an orbit for the planet Mars. For this effort, Kepler had excellent data accurate observations of Mars s position at various times over a period of years. These observations, made by Tycho Brahe, were the most accurate posi-... 

On the evening of November 11, 1572 the sky was clear. A young Danish nobleman Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) was returning home for supper from his alchemical laboratory. He observed an unfamiliar starlike object in the sky, much brighter than Sirius, Vega and even Venus [1]. This observation was to become decisive for the young man s life. 

Tycho Brahe and his assistants collected an extensive amount of precise astronomical observations. In 1597, however, soon after tlie old king of Denmark had died, he was forced to leave Ven. His entourage...
