Explanation:
Tycho Brahe was the most meticulous astronomical observer of his time.
Brahe,
who lived between 1546 and 1601,
set out to solve the day's most pressing astronomical problem:
to determine whether the
Earth or the
Sun was at the center of the
Solar System.
To do this
Brahe and his assistants created
the first
major astronomical observatory where they devised
and used the most accurate
pre-telescopic astronomical instruments.
Tycho
Brahe thus compiled tables of
precise measurements of the positions and
brightnesses of planets and stars.
Brahe
never solved the Solar System problem himself -
but left data so impressively accurate his assistant
Johannes Kepler
was able to develop definitive laws. Brahe is also remembered for witnessing a supernova in 1572,
showing that the
Great Comet of 1577 was not
an
atmospheric phenomena, and for his metal nose.
