Tycho Brahe

Tycho Brahe was a Danish astronomer in the late 16th century known for his precise observations of celestial bodies before the invention of the telescope. He meticulously recorded the positions of stars and planets, greatly improving the accuracy of astronomical data. His detailed work laid the foundation for future astronomers, particularly Johannes Kepler, who used Brahe's observations to develop his laws of planetary motion. Brahe's commitment to empirical research and data collection marked a significant shift from relying solely on philosophical ideas to a more scientific approach in astronomy. His efforts were crucial in advancing our understanding of the cosmos.
