Tycho Brahe, Uraniborg Observatory

Uraniborg, an astronomical observatory operated by Brahe in Denmark. Tycho Brahe (December 14, 1546 - October 24, 1601) was a Danish astronomer and alchemist. After becoming interested in astronomy as a student in Copenhagen, he 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 build the Uraniborg observatory. As an astronomer he worked to combine 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. He was the last of the major naked eye astronomers. He 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. No one before him had attempted to make so many planetary observations. Due to a duelling injury at university, he always wore a metal nose prosthetic. In 1601 he contracted a bladder or kidney ailment after attending a banquet and died several days later at the age of 54.

Título:
Tycho Brahe, Uraniborg Observatory
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Uraniborg, un observatorio astronómico operado por Brahe en Dinamarca. Tycho Brahe (14 de diciembre de 1546 - 24 de octubre de 1601) fue un astrónomo y alquimista danés. Después de interesarse por la astronomía cuando era estudiante en Copenhague, se dio cuenta de la dificultad de realizar mediciones precisas de los cuerpos celestes con los instrumentos de la época. Sus diseños de nuevos métodos y dispositivos le valieron una gran fama. Se le concedió una propiedad en la isla de Hven para realizar su investigación y financiación para construir el observatorio de Uraniborg. Como astrónomo trabajó para combinar los beneficios geométricos del sistema copernicano con los beneficios filosóficos del sistema ptolemaico en su propio modelo del universo, el sistema ticónico. Fue el último de los grandes astrónomos a simple vista. Se le atribuyen las observaciones astronómicas más precisas de su tiempo, y los datos fueron utilizados por su asistente, Johannes Kepler, para derivar las leyes del movimiento planetario. Nadie antes que él había intentado hacer tantas observaciones planetarias. Debido a una lesión que sufrió en un duelo universitario, siempre llevaba una prótesis nasal de metal. En 1601 contrajo una enfermedad de vejiga o riñón después de asistir a un banquete y murió varios días después a la edad de 54 años.
