Today (December 14, 1546) is the birthday of Tycho Brahe, a famous astronomer.

Tycho Ottesen Brahe was born on December 14, 1546, the heir to several influential Danish families. Tycho’s vision of science was driven by a curiosity for accurate observations. The search for more advanced tools for measurement sparked the work of his life. Tycho was the last great astronomer to work without the aid of a telescope. Soon Galileo Galilei and others returned to the sky. Considering the limitations of the naked eye to make accurate observations, he devoted many of his efforts to improve the accuracy of the many types of tools currently available. Due to the accuracy of his tools, he quickly realized the influence of the wind and the movement of buildings.

Tycho’s observations of a star and planetary positions are significant for both their accuracy and magnitude. With an accuracy approaching an archer, his celestial positions were far more accurate than those of any predecessor or contemporary. Five times more accurate than Hess's contemporary astronomer Wilhelm's observations. Tycho’s Star Catalog T in Rawlins (1993: 2b2), in which Tycho achieves an objective precision over its predecessors at the material level: Kate D signifies an unprecedented combination of abilities: instrument, observation, and calculation. Helps to keep to accuracy.

He wanted the precise position of the celestial bodies to remain within a curve of their true celestial positions in the estimated positions. He also said that he has reached this stage. But, in fact, many of the star positions on his star charts were more accurate than that. The average errors for star positions in his final published list are about 1.5 '. This means that only half of the inputs are more accurate than that. With an overall average error of about 2 'in each integration. Although the star observations recorded in his observation records are very accurate, they vary from 32.3 "to 48.8" for different instruments. Systematic bugs of 3' were introduced in some of the star positions that Tycho released in his star list.

Due to atmospheric refraction, celestial objects found near and above the horizon appear higher than the real one, and one of Tycho’s most important discoveries, he developed and published the first table to systematically correct this possible source. But, as they progressed, there was no refraction above 45° above the solar refraction. And no starlight above 20. Tycho relied heavily on the technology of the then-new prosthesis to make the numerous amplifications needed to produce most of his astronomical data. It is a means of approximating products based on the trigonometric identities of the loops in advance.

Although Tycho praised Copernicus and was the first to teach his theory in Denmark, he was unable to reconcile Copernican theory with the basic laws of Aristotelian physics. He considered the foundation. He also criticized the observational data that Copernicus built his theory. He was right in thinking that this had a high level of error. Instead, Tycho proposed a "geo-solar centre" system. In it, the sun and moon orbited the earth. Other planets orbit the sun. Tycho’s system had many of the same monitoring and computational advantages as Copernicus' system. And both systems may accommodate phases of Venus. However, Galilee has not yet found them. Tycho’s system provided a safe haven for astronomers dissatisfied with older models. But was reluctant to accept the centre of the sun and the motion of the earth. After 1616 it gained a considerable following. When Rome declared that the solar centre model was contrary to both philosophy and scripture, it could only be discussed as a computational facility that had nothing to do with reality.

Tycho’s organization also made a great discovery. Although Copernicus relied on the idea of transparent rotating crystal spheres to move both planets into their orbits as a purely Earth-centric model, Tycho eliminated spheres altogether. Kepler and other Copernican astronomers sought to persuade Tycho to follow the solar system's solar model. But he did not agree. He is known for his accurate and detailed observations of astronomy and planets. He was from Scania, then part of Denmark and now part of Sweden. He was widely known as an astronomer and alchemist throughout his life.

He was given land and funds on the island of Wen to set up a research station. Here Bra fitted a large astronomical instrument and took several measurements. As an astronomer, Tycho combined the geometric uses of the Copernican method with the philosophical uses of the Ptolemaic system to create a model of the universe known as the Tycoonic method. Tycho Brocky, an astronomer and astronomer, passed away on October 24, 1601, in Prague, Czech Republic, at the age of 54.
