The Great Comet of 1577

The Great Comet of 1577 was a comet that passed close to Earth during the year 1577 AD. It was viewed by people all over Europe, including famous Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe and though just a boy, future mathematician and astronomer, Johannes Kepler. From his observations of the comet, Brahe was able to discover that comets and similar objects travel above the Earth's atmosphere.
