Título: Tycho Brahe Receives James VI at Uraniborg, 1590
Descripción: Ver traducción automática
Tycho Brahe receives James VI at Uraniborg, 1590. Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) was a Danish astronomer and alchemist. As a student in Copenhagen, Tycho Brahe realized the difficulty of making accurate measurements of celestial bodies with the instruments of the day. His designs for new methods and devices won him great fame. He was granted an estate on the island of Hven to conduct his research, and funding to built the Uraniborg observatory. He was the last of the major naked eye astronomers, working without telescopes for his observations. Tycho is credited with the most accurate astronomical observations of his time, and the data was used by his assistant, Johannes Kepler, to derive the laws of planetary motion. Due to a dueling injury at university, he always wore a metal nose prosthetic.
